BLEACH-FREE
Chlorine bleach may be one of the most hazardous chemicals found in homes today. A highly corrosive material, bleach is an irritant to the eyes, skin and respiratory system and requires proper protective gear and ventilation for its safe use. Beyond these and other significant health concerns, it can also be harmful to plants and accidentally “bleach” materials like carpet and clothing. This makes using it as a cleaner particularly tricky. Since bleach is not user-friendly, we set out to find a superior alternative.
The Storm System STEP-2-CLEAN solution is a hydrogen peroxide based product. While it can be a formidable cleaning agent, hydrogen peroxide is simply water with an additional water molecule added,
or H2O2. With that as its foundation, our scientists developed a breakthrough formulation for Storm System STEP-2-CLEAN that delivers an industrial grade hydrogen peroxide in a household-friendly solution, delivering unsurpassed cleaning ability without all the harsh downsides of bleach.
LET’S GET STARTED
Kitchens are susceptible to mold and mildew growth because of high moisture and humidity levels coupled with the fact that ovens, gas ranges, leaks from water pipes, drains and refrigerators can cause moisture to spread.
Pro Tip
Properly install an exhaust fan to accompany kitchen appliances that produce moisture for adequate spot ventilation. Check for plumbing leaks by running each faucet for at least 5 minutes while observing for any visible leaks.
Outdoor surfaces are highly susceptible to mold and mildew stain buildup due to continual exposure to the elements. Bleach cleaners can discolor substrates, while Storm System Mold & Mildew Solutions clean, kill and control mold without harming the color of the material.
Pro Tip
Take care to remove any excess accumulation of rain on outdoor surfaces to prevent moisture buildup.
Bathrooms provide ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth, due to heavy moisture and humidity.
Pro Tip
To help prevent future mold and mildew problems, make sure the room has a properly installed ventilation system and use it often, especially when producing moisture, to reduce humidity buildup on bathroom surfaces.
Living spaces can provide ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth due to heavy moisture and humidity produced by appliances and even condensation on windows.
Pro Tip
Increase ventilation or air movement by opening doors and/or windows, when practical. Use fans as needed, especially when producing moisture, to reduce humidity living space surfaces.
When moisture travels with the rising heat, it is often trapped in attics and condenses on exposed surfaces and freezes during cold conditions. The freezing and thawing pattern contributes to added moisture, creating ideal conditions for mold and mildew growth.
Pro Tip
Eliminate all air bypasses into the attic by sealing off the area before installing insulation and seal off all penetrations into the attic. Ventilate attic with passive vents to promote proper air circulation.
Constant moisture and dampness in the garage make it one of the prime locations in a home for mold and mildew growth.
Pro Tip
Keep your garage as dry as possible by eliminating anything that contains or requires water. Installing roof vents will help reduce condensation by drawing out the air and water vapor.
Water damage, flooding, dampness, and humidity levels make basements very prone to mold and mildew growth.
Pro Tip
Control mold and mildew growth by keeping the humidity level below 55%. Installing a dehumidifier and using it often, as well as ensuring proper air circulation, will reduce humidity in the home.
Outdoor furniture is highly susceptible to mold and mildew stain buildup due to continual exposure to the elements. Bleach cleaners can discolor furniture, while Storm System Mold & Mildew Solutions CLEAN, KILL, and CONTROL mold without harming the color of the furniture’s material.
Pro Tip
Take care to remove any excess accumulation of rain on outdoor furniture to prevent moisture buildup.
