The cell walls of plants are made of cellulose whereas the walls of fungal cells contain Chitin and other organic polymers. (Chitin is also the material found in insect shells)
Plants require only simple inorganic compounds such as carbon dioxide and water to grow. Fungi thrive off of virtually anything, from simple to very complex organic molecules. In fact , cellulose is their most prized food source.

A clean floor or shower wall leaves no food material for fungal growth! Surfactant based cleaning chemistry with the ability to break down oils and put them in suspension is key to removal of fungi. Inexpensive cleansers rely on high amounts of a variety of salts such as tetrapotassium phosphate to achieve cleaning action. The salts react with minerals to create soap scum which is a great fungi food. (Small layers are still big time food even though we can’t see them) The use of acids and citrus cleansers create other concerns.

So what you want to use is a product with a rare combination of attribute, namely the ability (with surfactants) to bring the cleaning chemistry in full contact with the floor and any microbial growth; the ability to penetrate the Chitin and oils and float them to the surface; and with an effective biocide. Daily keeping the spores that land from growing will be a simple (fundamental) approach to managing a pesky and sometimes costly problem!

Environmental awareness has brought to the market many products claims to be earth friendly. The combination of being earth friendly and effective cleansers is another factor to consider. To say a product breaks down completely is not to say how long it takes for that process to complete. The faster in environmental breakdown the better! Important also is that when a cleanser is used that is leave NO residue that will either hasten re-soiling or actually provide food for fungal growth. Citrus products will always leave a residue called d-limonene. The residue will hasten re-soiling of oils, plus leave a residue for stone & concrete/grout to prevent absorption of any impregnator to protect the stone or grouting .

Mold/fungal growth on a floor:
Please read the information on the special cleaning chemistry of the StoneClean™ Concentrates from Richard James Specialty Chemical Corp.

Their special surfactants bring the environmentally safe cleaning chemistry into FULL CONTACT with the floor and grouting. StoneClean™ & Strip is the first cleanser you will need to use to deep clean the tile and grouting. Followed by the use of StoneClean™ Plus Hard Surface Cleaner. Allow plenty of Soak Time to allow the product to work well.

These two products can make quick work around pool and sauna areas prone to mildew growth. The other advantage in using them is that they don’t make the floor overly slippery. Please email me for more detailed instructions on a case by case basis.

Mold/fungal growth on a shower wall & shower floor;
First try the StoneClean™ products- however if badly stained it may require the use of Thieves™ Household Cleaner (please see the report on protecting your family from mold/mildew) The special blend of Essential Oils from Young Living is super effective in dealing with growths on walls and rough surfaces like concrete sidewalks. (Thieves™ may make the floors too slippery if doing a larger area) Think WALLS- Thieves™ ; FLOORS- StoneClean™ Concentrates.

Mold/Fungal Spores in the Air:

Both Thieves & StoneClean have superior surface stability- which translates into longer lasting control over re-growth. Bleach and other biocides tend to quickly evaporate and leave nothing behind for residual protection of re-growth. However to ensure even longer lasting control diffuse with the Thieves blend in a cold air diffuser – see web site for diffuser information. Email me for more information as well. A homeowner may choose to diffuse in a bathroom for 8 hours once a week, a Hotel may choose to diffuse 8 hours at least once a month for residual control that will go along nicely with daily cleanings of the shower walls with Thieves Household Cleaner (in proper dilution) & StoneClean Plus for the daily cleaning of the floors.

The other way a hotel can help control the growth of mildew/fungal growth is believe it or not –the right kind of shower filter! After the water has been purified thru this special shower system it proceeds into a proprietary enhancement stage. Here the water is optimized to enhance your showering experience. First water proceeds through a patented magnetic treatment stage. Here reduced ions are generated that protect the skin from free radical attack and aid the body in repairing damaged skin and hair. This stage is also responsible for increasing hydration by 115% over tap water, moisturizing your hair and skin without the residue of lotions.

Once the water has passed through the magnetic treatment stage it passes through a proprietary Taicho and Bakuhan medias. Taicho stone (rare stone from Japan) gives the water bacterio-static and fungi-static properties which help the body resist undesirable bacteria and fungus. It also promotes a healthier, sanitized shower. Bakuhan stone helps hair retain its natural proteins and Eliminates Bad Hair Days! It's no wonder why the Number 1 Health Spa in the world, Hippocrates Health Institute uses this shower system!
