In recent months, due to the rain and moisture in the air, the number of premises experiencing mould issues has increased dramatically. Mould is a deadly fungus that invades a surface when presented with the perfect, humid environment. Not only does mould take away from the aesthetic appeal of a premises, it can also create serious health problems. This is caused by the mould producing tiny particles called spores, which are carried in the air which can then be inhaled by people. It can create severe irritation of the eyes, nose, throat and skin, and even provoke allergic reactions or asthma attacks. This can lead to a loss of productivity due to the increased number of illnesses, financially impacting a business and their staff if left untreated. The long-term financial effects as well as the serious health concerns bring reason for the importance and urgency to not only remove any mould from the premises but to also implement on-going prevention measures.
Here at Olinga Services, our teams have seen an increase in mould removal and prevention requests due to the amount of rain we have had this year. Once the mould has taken over a surface it can be difficult to remove, so it is recommended to act immediately. If you are not using the right products to remove the mould, it won’t be long before it grows back. Therefore, it is not only important to remove the mould correctly but to also put preventative measures in place to reduce the risk of it appearing again. One of the most effective mould prevention techniques Olinga Services uses for our clients is the application of surface coatings on all surfaces that could be or have been targeted.
The TGA-Approved surface coating is a water-based and non-hazardous antimicrobial solution that provides 24/7 protection. When applied, it creates an invisible layer of protection against microorganisms such as fungi, mould and even COVID-19. It also stops dirt, dust and other contaminants from sticking to the surface.
After the application of the surface coating by Olinga Services’ specialist teams, the invisible protective layer of nano-spikes works to penetrate and destroy any contaminants instantly. As a result, the coatings help the surface to work for you in between cleans and to help prevent the growth of mould and other bacteria, even in those wet seasons.
Our clients and their staff feel safe in knowing that the coatings are providing protection to their workplace and their staff through the use of the non-hazardous coating in place of other hazardous chemicals and that their premises is a verified Olinga SafeZone.
The water-based nature of the coating means it can be applied to any surface, even materials such as silk, and is formulated to stop contaminants and dust from sticking to the surface. This makes it easier and quicker to clean a surface. The protective layer of the coating also increases the aesthetic appeal and the life span of the asset by helping to reduce the impact of wear and tear on the surface.
