Mold is a common problem in many homes and businesses, especially in damp and humid areas. Mold can cause health issues, such as allergies, asthma, and infections, as well as damage to your property, such as stains, odors, and decay. That’s why it’s important to prevent and eliminate mold as soon as possible.

But how do you kill mold effectively and safely? Not all disinfectants are created equal. Some of the most popular ones, such as quaternary ammonium compounds (quats) and bleach, have serious drawbacks that can harm your health and the environment. In this blog post, we’ll explain why San-Assure, an innovative electrostatic sprayer and disinfectant solution, is the best choice for killing mold and keeping your space clean and fresh.

 

What is San-Assure and How Does It Work?

 

San-Assure is an EPA-registered cleaner, sanitizer, and disinfectant that kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses, including the virus that causes COVID-19. It also eliminates odors, mold, and mildew and inhibits their regrowth for up to 7 months. It’s safe to use on hard and soft surfaces, such as floors, walls, ceilings, furniture, carpets, curtains, and toys.

San-Assure’s electrostatic sprayer enhances the disinfection process by providing full surface coverage through electrostatic attraction technology. The solution particles are charged as they leave the sprayer, so they are attracted to the object being sanitized. As a result, the solution wraps around the object, coating front, sides, and back, ensuring treated areas are sanitized.

San-Assure is easy to use and doesn’t require rinsing or wiping. Just add the solution to the sprayer at the recommended dilution ratio, spray your surface, and allow it to dry. It’s perfect to use at the end of the day, so you can wake up to a fresh, clean, sanitized environment.

 

What is the Active Ingredient in San-Assure and Why is It Effective Against Mold?

 

The active ingredient in San-Assure is chlorine dioxide, a powerful oxidizing agent that destroys the cell walls of microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Chlorine dioxide is effective against mold because it penetrates the surface and reaches the roots of the mold, killing it completely and preventing it from coming back.

Chlorine dioxide is also environmentally friendly and biodegradable. It breaks down into water, oxygen, and salt, leaving no harmful residues or byproducts. Unlike bleach, chlorine dioxide doesn’t produce toxic chlorine gas or trihalomethanes, which are carcinogenic compounds that can contaminate water sources. Chlorine dioxide also doesn’t react with organic matter, such as dirt, grease, or urine, which can reduce the effectiveness of bleach and quats.

 

What are the Benefits of San-Assure Over Quats and Bleach?

 

Quats and bleach are two of the most widely used disinfectants in the market, but they have several disadvantages that make them inferior to San-Assure. Here are some of the benefits of San-Assure over quats and bleach:

✨ San-Assure is more effective than quats and bleach against mold. Quats and bleach can only kill surface mold, but not the roots, which can allow the mold to regrow. San-Assure kills mold at the source and inhibits its re-growth for up to 7 months.

✨ San-Assure is safer than quats and bleach for your health and the environment. Quats and bleach can cause skin irritation, eye damage, respiratory problems, and allergic reactions. They can also harm aquatic life and pollute water sources. San-Assure is non-toxic, non-irritating, and non-corrosive. It’s safe to use around kids, pets, and food.

✨ San-Assure is more versatile than quats and bleach for your cleaning needs. Quats and bleach can damage or discolor some materials, such as metals, fabrics, and plastics. They can also leave behind unpleasant smells and residues. San-Assure is compatible with most surfaces and materials. It leaves no odor, residue, or stain.
