Why does mould keep coming back even after I clean it?
Because surface cleaning only removes the visible colony. Mould reproduces through microscopic airborne spores that are still floating in the room after you clean. Those spores land on another surface, find moisture, and a new colony grows.
The Mould Fighter Pads eliminate those airborne spores — breaking the cycle at the source.
How do the Mould Fighter Pads work if I cannot see anything happening?
The pads are passive essential oil diffusers. They release microscopic droplets of our specially formulated essential oil blend that float through the air, capturing and eliminating mould spores before they can land and germinate. The pads will also absorb any excessive moisture from the air which is needed for mould to grow.
You cannot see them working. But the spores are not coming back.
What about the staining on paints, grout or silicon seals. Will it remove this?
Not always.
The spray can remove staining but this depends on the depth of the stains and the surface they are on. Stains are the result of mould “roots” growing into the surface.
The Mould Fighter spray can penetrate the surface and eliminate the mould roots so they will not regrow along with any mould spores left in the area.
Further outbreak will only occur if the area has enough moisture so that mould spores grow again.
Products that claim to remove all staining are usually bleach or chlorine based which can be hazardous and also will not penetrate the surface and eliminate the roots.
This means these bleach and chlorine products look like they have remove the mould but it will regrow quickly once moisture is present.
Vm3 Zero Mould Fighter products do not contains any bleach, chlorine or other harsh chemicals.
Unfortunately, removal of stains can at times mean refinishing the surface.
How many pads do I need and how often do I replace them?
One pad per room per week. Each pack contains 12 pads — 12 weeks of continuous protection per space.
For high-humidity areas — bathrooms, caravans, boats — check pads weekly. Replace when saturated.
Most homes have 2–3 problem spaces. That is why the 2 Rooms and Whole Home options include a complete system per room — so every space gets proper coverage.
Will this work on black mould?
Yes. The formula was independently tested against the organisms responsible for black mould and achieved a 99.97% mould reduction rate within 14 days.
Works on: tiles · grout · shower screens · walls · ceilings · most household surfaces.
Note: Old staining in porous surfaces like grout may remain visible even after mould is killed. This is residual staining — not regrowth.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
Yes. The Vm3Zero formula is 100% toxin-free, bleach-free, and Australian made using food-grade essential oils. No harsh chemicals. No harmful fumes. Safe to use around children and pets when used as directed.
How is this different from bleach or chlorine based spray?
Bleach whitens mould temporarily — it does not eliminate airborne spores or break the mould cycle, and it releases toxic fumes in the process.
The Vm3Zero Mould Control System does both steps:
- The spray kills what you can see — 99.97% mould reduction rate
- The pads eliminate the airborne spores that cause regrowth
No bleach. No toxic fumes. No endless cleaning cycle.
How many systems do I need?
One system covers one room for 12 weeks. Most homes have 2–3 high-moisture problem areas — bathroom, wardrobe, laundry.
- 1 Room — perfect for one problem space
- 2 Rooms — most popular — covers bathroom + wardrobe
- Whole Home — best value — bathroom + wardrobe + laundry
The more rooms you cover, the more you save per room.
Do I need to scrub after spraying?
Not usually. Spray → wait 2–3 minutes → wipe clean with a damp cloth.
For textured surfaces or deep grout, a light scrub with a soft brush may help remove visible staining — but the formula penetrates deep regardless.
