After cleaning, mould and mildew affected timber should be treated with Intergrain TSS Timber Sterilising Solution* to kill mould spores. Timber to be used in wet areas should be back primed and end grain sealed with Intergrain Dimension 4 Pre-Treatment to prevent moisture absorption and possible surface staining and cupping.
* This is a biocidal wash which can also be used as a household mould and mildew cleaner on tiles in kitchens and bathrooms.
