Everyone knows the age-old saying, ‘Prevention is better than the cure,’ and this couldn’t be truer when it comes to mould growth in areas with high humidity.

High levels of moisture can cause unsightly mould, mildew, and bacterial growth on walls, ceilings, and sealed areas around bathtubs, sinks, and shower trays, which has been a problem for households nationwide for years.

Being called back to a recently installed bathroom to find blackened sealant and grout is a huge inconvenience to both you and your customer.

Using the right products for the job from the start is essential. Developed specifically for use in bathrooms, kitchens, and wetroom areas, Forever White sealant contains Mould Shield, a high-quality antimicrobial additive that has been rigorously tested in accredited laboratories to show no mould growth in the sealant after 10 years (simulated ageing).

 

Forever White can provide a permanently waterproof seal around baths, sinks, shower trays, interior windows, and door frames.

- When applying the sealant, it must be tooled down correctly to achieve the perfect finish, which will last for years.

- Simply wet a gloved finger or tool such as the Smooth Out Tool with clean, soapy water and smooth out the sealant to a neat finish.

- Ensure saliva is not used to wet the surface, as this can cause microorganisms to enter the sealant and lead to mould growth.

 

Mold growth can affect not only the sealant but also grouts, which can become discoloured and unsightly over time. Use the best grouts, such as Forever White Powdered Wall Tile Grout, which, like the sealant, includes Mould Shield, which protects the grout against mould and mildew growth.

In the situation when an anti-fungal product wasn’t used initially, and replacing grout in a tiled area isn’t feasible. Use a restorative product, Forever White Grout Reviver can bring a new lease of life to the discoloured and dirty area. Available in a ready-to-use tube with a sponge applicator head for a quick and easy application, the contents are squeezed onto the area, ensuring complete and even coverage before removing the excess once dry.

 

Simply starting a job using the correct products can save time and money, two things which are invaluable to every trade.
