Beyond the Bleach:

For decades, the “gold standard” for mold removal was a gallon of bleach and a wire brush. Modern building science has revealed that this approach is not only ineffective but can actually be counterproductive. Bleach is mostly water; while it may turn the surface of the mold white, it often leaves the deep-seated “roots” (hyphae) alive and provides them with a fresh supply of moisture to grow back stronger. Protective Coatings Group (PCG) has replaced this outdated method with a professional-grade suite: ProClean+ and MycoDyne.

The ProClean+ Difference: Cleaning Without the Chemistry of Fear

Most commercial “mold killers” rely on harsh oxidizers that can damage building materials and irritate the respiratory systems of both the workers and the occupants. ProClean+ is a specialty cleaner designed to aid in the removal of fungal growth without the use of bleach or harmful bleaching agents.

The power of ProClean101 lies in its ability to lift the fungal mass from the substrate. It breaks the bond between the mold and the surface, allowing for a more thorough physical removal. More importantly, it leaves behind a micron-thick, invisible residual coating. This “pre-treat” ensures that the surface is not only clean but is immediately hostile to any remaining spores that might be floating in the air during the remediation process.

MycoDyne: The Restoration Expert’s Secret Weapon

Once a surface has been cleaned and dried, the next step is long-term fortification. This is where MycoDyne comes in. Specifically developed for the restoration and remediation industry, MycoDyne is a high-performance coating that is “tinted blue” for easy verification of coverage.

Remediation professionals love MycoDyne because it provides a visual “proof of protection” for the customer. When a homeowner or a third-party inspector sees that blue tint on the remediated studs, they know the job was done to a professional standard. Like its sister product FortiCel, MycoDyne is backed by a 25-year guarantee, ensuring that the remediation isn’t just a temporary fix, but a permanent structural upgrade.

The “One-Two Punch” of Professional Restoration

In a professional restoration environment, the protocol is clear:

1. Source Control: Fix the leak or moisture issue.

2. Removal: Use ProClean+to lift and remove the biological growth safely.

3. Encapsulation: Apply MycoDyne or FortiCel PRT to seal the wood and prevent any dormant spores from ever returning.

This system moves the remediation industry away from “spray and pray” tactics and toward a scientifically backed, warrantied process. It provides the contractor with a higher level of professional credibility and provides the client with a home that is truly “clear” of mold for the long haul.

Why Remediation Professionals Choose PCG:

• Safety: Non-bleach formulas are safer for occupied spaces.

• Verification: Blue-tinted MycoDyne ensures 100% coverage is achieved and documented.

• Liability: Offering a 25-year warranty on a remediation job is a massive competitive advantage.
