Product Overview
Actichem Mould Remover is a peroxide-based product for removing mould and mildew and the staining they leave behind, formulated for washrooms, change rooms and locker rooms.
Its main practical advantage is what it is not: it is not a hypochlorite bleach. That matters more than it sounds — see below.
Peroxide, not bleach — and why that matters
Most mould products reach for sodium hypochlorite. Actichem Mould Remover uses hydrogen peroxide (under 5%) instead. Three practical consequences:
- It is safe on natural stone. This is the big one. Bathrooms are full of marble, limestone and travertine, and hypochlorite products — usually strongly alkaline — are a poor match for them. Mould Remover is mildly acidic and does not carry that risk.
- It does not produce chlorine odour, which is the usual complaint after a bathroom mould treatment in an occupied building.
- It will not form chloramine gas if it meets an ammoniated cleaner. Bathrooms are exactly where that accident happens, because ammoniated glass and washroom cleaners live in the same trolley as bleach.
That last point is a genuine safety advantage over a bleach-based mould product. It does not mean you should mix it with anything — see the safety section — but it removes one of the more common ways cleaners are injured.
