FAQs
How does Forcefield work?
The active ingredients within Forcefield forms a colourless, odourless, positively charged polymer that molecularly bonds to the surface. The strong positive charge disrupts the cell membrane of microorganisms that come in contact with the active surface, thereby causing their cytoplasm and organelles to leak out. It resembles popping a water balloon. Because of this physical kill mechanism, Forcefield does not promote the development of multi-resistant superbugs.
What benefits do Forcefield antimicrobial protection products offer?
Forcefield protection continuously fights the growth microbes such as germs, mould and COVID-19. Forcefield’s protection also makes the surface easier to clean next time, as the protective coating fills the micro pores of the surface.
Will bleach or other cleaning chemicals ruin Forcefield's antimicrobial protection?
Yes, Once Forcefield’s technology dries and bonds to the surface, generally constant harsh abrasion and bleach and alcohol based products will remove the protection, regularly test the surface with a test strip to see when a new Forcefield treatment is required.
Is Forcefield environmentally friendly?
Forcefield is environmentally responsible as it is a water based solution. It does not contain any volatile organic compounds and is readily biodegradable.
Do I still have to clean surfaces regularly after Forcefield protection?
Because Forcefield is continuously destroying germs, mould and COVID-19 that comes into contact with it, you still need clean the surface to remove the dust, dirt and dead cell debris, but you only need a damp clean cloth

Will Forcefield remove mould staining?
Forcefield can reduce the visual effects of mould, but if the mould has grown through the surface because of for example a roof leak, Forcefield won’t remove the staining.
If the mould stained material is not structurally damaged, we recommend painting over the affected area. When the paint dries apply another coating of Forcefield on the area, this will leave a protective layer under the new paint and on top.
Can Forcefield be used on clothing and accessories?
Yes, Forcefield has shown to be highly effective on all fabrics and leathers. You can even add Forcefield as a rinse aid within your washing machine to treat and protect your clothing. Use 50mls for a 4kg or smaller machine and 100mls for a 5kg or larger machine.
Can you use Forcefield on windows?
Yes, use as if you would a normal spray and wipe product. When Forcefield dries if there are runs on the glass, spray the run with more Forcefield leave for 20 seconds and wipe with a clean microfiber cloth.
What is the difference with preventative and existing mould?
Preventing mould is a lot easier to achieve than decontaminating an existing mould issue.
Visible mould normally has grown within the surface it’s on, for example, timber, gyprock and concrete. Once the mould is within the surface, unless the material it is growing in is removed and replaced, all you can do is kill what is on the surface and protect against what is below.
Under optimal moisture and ventilation conditions, this may be enough to stop the mould from coming back. For more information about mould check out our Blog – Protect your spaces and learn how to minimise the spread of germs, bacteria, mould and COVID-19
Where can I get information on mould testing?
If you are wanting to know the species of mould in your property, you can order testing samples to do yourself or arrange to have someone do the testing for you. Typically DIY testing will cost $100 – $200 at minimum for 2-3 samples which you send to a mycologist company e.g. Eurofins. To have an expert conduct the tests for you starts at $300-$500 minimum. Although it is good to have the knowledge of what type of mould is in your property, we believe any visible mould contamination within a property is not a good thing and should be treated no matter the species.
