Moulds are microscopic fungi, a group of organisms which also includes mushrooms and yeasts. You encounter mould every day.
Food spoils because of mould. Leaves decay and pieces of wood lying on the ground rot due to mould.
The black growth on wet window sills and walls is mould.
Paper or fabrics stored in a damp place get a musty smell that is due to the action of moulds.

MOULD GROWTH

Moulds will grow when provided with moisture and nutrients. High moisture levels can be the result of water coming in from the outside, through the floor, walls or roof; or from plumbing leaks; or moisture produced by the people living in the home, through daily activities like bathing, washing clothes or cooking.
Water enters the building when there is a weakness or failure in the structure.
Moisture accumulates within the home when there is not enough ventilation to expel that moisture.

MOULD IN THE HOME

Moulds can be useful to people. The drug penicillin is obtained from a specific type of mould. Some foods and drinks are made by the actions of moulds. These good kinds of moulds are selected and grown in a controlled fashion.
However, moulds are undesirable when they grow where we don’t want them, such as in homes. There are 3 undesirable effects of growth in the home:

  • Damage to materials
  • Negative health effects
  • Unsightly appearance & smell

MOULD PREVENTION & REMOVAL

MouldX cleaners will kill, clean and remove existing mould growth. MouldX paint, barrier, stain block and additive can then be used to prevent further growth and damage. Preventative measures should be taken in high humidity areas such as bathrooms before mould appears. In addition to using MouldX products, the following common-sense measures can be taken to reduce the risk of mould growth.

  • Keep the home dry
  • Discard clutter and excess stored materials
  • Lifestyle practices that reduce moisture
  • Always test an inconspicuous area
  • Ventilate areas where moisture levels are high
  • Find and fix water leaks
  • Clean and maintain the home regularly

There is something special about the flames in a stove or fireplace. They produce warmth but above all they have a soothing effect. This effect is diminished once soot and other dirt is formed on the stove glass. KleanX Stove Glass Cleaner removes soot, burnt-on residues, grease and stubborn deposits quickly and effortlessly from glass panes in stoves, fireplaces and oven.

Below are instructions on how to clean wood burning stove glass once it has blackened through use, and also some things you can do to help keep stove glass clean.

How to clean wood burning stove glass

Only use on surfaces which have cooled down sufficiently. Spray KleanX Stove Glass Cleaner evenly onto glass and allow to work in for 1 to 2 minutes. Remove residues with a cloth or paper towel.  Wipe over with clean water and rub dry with a clean cloth. Observe the cleaning tips provided by the stove manufacturer. Enamel lacquer should be properly fired before the first cleaning. Protect the surrounding areas and surfaces from contact and if necessary wash off immediately with plenty of water.

Tips to keep the glass clean on a wood burning stove

  • Wipe down the glass with wet newspaper between fires to keep on top of any blackening of the glass.
  • Ensure to keep any air vents open that are required for the air wash system.
  • Burn dry, low moisture content wood.
  • Never leave the fire to smoulder, which can produce excess smoke and can increase the rate in which the glass starts to blacken.
  • Build and maintain fires more towards the back of the stove.
  • Always start with kindling when you warm up the stove and the flue.
  • Use hardwood logs rather than softwood.
  • Make sure the temperature is high to reduce the deposits on your glass.
