How to use
Ventilate the area well and wear gloves. Spray directly onto mould-affected surfaces. Leave for 10–15 minutes, up to 1 hour for severe mould. Scrub with a brush, then rinse or wipe clean. To stop the mould returning, follow up with the Mould Preventer (1.17).
Storage
Store in an amber or opaque bottle in a cool, dark place. Use within 3 months; Hydrogen Peroxide degrades over time.
Safety
Wear gloves throughout; Hydrogen Peroxide is a mild oxidiser. Store in an amber or opaque bottle, as light degrades Hydrogen Peroxide. Do not mix with vinegar. Ventilate the area well during use. Hydrogen Peroxide is a mild bleach and can lighten fabric; keep it off clothing, towels and coloured bath mats, and wear old clothes when treating mould. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
