About GTech Sport
What is GTech?
GTech spray is a clear, colorless antimicrobial solution that is safe for application on a wide variety of surfaces and materials including fabrics, carpet, upholstery, drapes, linens, wood, plastics, stone, porcelain and metals.
Application to surfaces produces an invisible, transparent and durable antimicrobial film that will not transfer on contact with other surfaces and is non-leaching on contact with water or solvents, and produces no chemical vapors.
GTech protection will not wash off or wear away, providing permanent antimicrobial protection for the useful life of the product.
The science behind GTech
How GTech works
The active ingredient of the GTech antimicrobial is an organo-functional silane technology.
It physically disrupts, effectively destroying the target organism’s cell membrane on contact. Our product molecularly bonds to a treated surface, thus providing a shield of protection on the entire surface. Through extensive studies, this colorless, odorless, and non-leaching technology is found to be safe and effective against a broad spectrum of molds, fungi, bacteria, algae, and mildew.
You can relax, knowing that the EPA stands behind our promises and testing methods.
The Process
Surface contaminated with bacteria, germs, mold and mildew.
GTech attacks bacteria and germs on surfaces with millions of microscopic spears.
Once dry, GTech leaves a microscopic bed of protectors forming a long lasting line of defense.
GTech forms an impenetrable and deadly layer of defense harmful to micro-organisms such as bacteria which rupture on contact.
General FAQs
Why are GTech Clean® Products so different?
All GTech Clean® Antimicrobial products utilize silane technology that “electrocutes” the target organism on contact. GTech Clean® molecularly bonds to a treated surface.
My bottle froze. Can I still use it?
Yes, GTech Clean can freeze in sub-zero temperatures. If it does freeze, the product can still be used after thawing and stirring or shaking it up.
Do I need to wear a mask or evacuate the area when using GTech Clean?
GTech does not contain any VOCs. Evacuation of the area during use is not required. However, if you are in an area with heavy contamination or mold growth, a mask would be a good idea to limit your inhalation of harmful bacteria or mold spores.
How often do I need to apply GTech?
Our general recommendation is every 15 days. But if you have highly trafficked areas, you may need to apply every 10 days due to wear. GTech can be scratched from surfaces, so highly trafficked carpeted areas, doorknobs and handles, light switches, remotes, phones and desks are a good example of areas that may need more frequent treatment.
Do molds affect my health?
Most molds do not harm healthy people. But people who have allergies or asthma may be more sensitive to molds. Sensitive people may experience skin rash, running nose, eye irritation, cough, nasal congestion, and aggravation of asthma or difficulty breathing. People with an immune suppression or underlying lung disease, may be at increased risk for infections from molds.
A small number of molds produce toxins called mycotoxins. When people are exposed to high levels of mold mycotoxins they may suffer toxic effects, including fatigue, nausea, headaches, and irritation to the lungs and eyes.
If you have health problems that you suspect are caused by exposure to mold, you should consult with your physician.

When is mold a problem?
You know you have mold when you smell the “musty” odor or see small black or white specks along your damp bathroom, basement or facility walls. Some mold is hidden growing behind wall coverings or ceiling tiles. Even dry, dead mold can cause health problems, so always take precautions when you suspect mold. Mold is often found in areas where water has damaged building materials and furniture from flooding or plumbing leaks.
Mold can also be found growing along walls where warm moist air condenses on cooler wall surfaces, such as inside cold exterior walls, behind dressers, headboards, and in closets where articles are stored against walls. Mold often grows in rooms with both high water usage and humidity, such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry rooms, locker rooms, and basements. If you notice mold or know of water damaged areas in your home, it is time to take action to control its growth.

Household Use FAQs
Is GTech Clean safe for use around children and animals?
Yes. It leaves no residue that would be harmful to children or pets. Although GTech is safe to use with animals, do not allow animals in contact with unabsorbed liquid. When all surfaces are dry, return the animal and the food and water containers. GTech is safe for horses too! Use on helmets, chaps, boots, gloves, halters, bits, bridles, saddles, and all your other equipment.
Will GTech remove mold in my basement or garage?
Yes. Your garage and basement can trap moisture, allowing for pockets of mold and mildew to grow. When left untreated, mold and mildew can harm your home and breed unhealthy bacteria. Apply GTech to concrete, wood, plaster, or drywall to eliminate mold and mildew, and keep your home from the destructive damage that mold and mildew can cause.
Is it safe for furniture and carpets?
Yes. Vacuuming and stain cleaners do not kill germs and bacteria on your carpets. Even carpet cleaners can’t kill pet odors the way GTech does. Spray GTech on your carpets, furniture and draperies to kill germs, eliminate odors, and bring a fresh feel to your home.
Can I paint over GTech?
Yes. If you wish to treat and then repaint a moldy surface, first clean the area, then apply the solution. Allow to dry for 24 hours, then paint. To prevent re-growth, retreat the painted area with GTech, making sure the paint is completely dry.
Is it safe for hard surfaces in my home?
Yes. GTech is safe for hard surfaces including concrete, wood, plaster, tile, and drywall. Spray with GTech to eliminate mold and mildew, and keep your home safe from the destructive damage that mold and mildew can cause.
I used GTech Clean and nothing seemed to happen. Did the product work?
When GTech dries on the moldy or contaminated surface, it crushes the cells. This action is not visible, but you can be assured that it’s working. While you may be use to using bleach products that whiten the stains, this product contains no bleaches or whiteners so may require some elbow grease to remove the stains.

Commercial & Industrial Use FAQs
Can I use bleach to get rid of the bacteria and mold on athletic gear or in my facility?
Bleach is a potent chemical and may pose health risks to users and to occupants during and after use. While bleach will kill the mold, it will not prevent the mold from returning to the cleaned surface. It may look clean, but the mold will often grow back within weeks.
