In removing mold and maintaining a home, the constant exchange of air provided by the HVAC makes removing mold a continuous process.  Hot or cold fogging can decrease mold levels close to zero, however, if the cause is not fixed, mold will return.  After fogging, it may take weeks or months for mold to get a foothold and grow to levels where they can become airborne.

As a result, home “hygiene” or maintenance is an important part of a patients medical treatment plan.  The products are antimicrobial in nature and can also deodorize or neutralize misty odors caused by mold and putrid odors caused by bacteria.

For people who are home or apartment renters, stuck in a lease,  and have little input to the landlord, mold testing and fogging may be one of the only solutions to maintain minimal mold and other microbial presence.  It is inexpensive and relatively easy to do.

I have been familiar with these products for years and have used them. This also includes competitive products and DIY  formulations for comparisons as well as the toxic chemical alternatives.  I know and understand the companies well, the product histories, and the science behind them.  In addition, I have consulted with building science experts, physicians, and mold remediation professionals about their views of the safety and efficacy of these products.

“Hot”  Fogging Kits a address mold systemically in homes for patients who suffer from mold and chemical sensitivities. DIYers can also do hot fogging easily by following the simple directions.  There is a period of time after fogging where the home should be vacated while the fog dissipates and evaporates.

The machine heats the fog solution, to create smoke, similar to the fog or “smoke” machines used in theater and film productions.

The carrier, propylene glycol is safe and it carries the mold active botanical blend in a carrier that can reach every inch in a room including behind things and in corners and crevices.

• For use to avoid toxic chemicals
• Easy to use instructions for DIY users
• Fogging a home also provides information on where their are roof and ductwork leaks in the home so preventative measures can included in remediation

“Cold” Fogging utilizes a cold fogger that aerosolizes the mold solutions into fine mists with particles sizes as small as 30 microns.  It can be used safely by consumers for weekly/monthly maintenance and deodorizing.  Cold foggers spread the solution evenly on all surfaces (floors, cabinetry, upholstery, carpet, clothing, even people after mold exposure.)  Foggers make the Mold solutions very efficient.

Mold Professional Referrals

I have been fortunate to be able to know these mold professionals through an ongoing dialog used for problem solving.  In this case, each very seasoned and experienced home and IAQ experts consult with the best in the field to provide the best service to their customers.  They come from different backgrounds such as inspection, HVAC, industrial hygiene, & building biology.  In addition, these professionals have pursued the additional scientific disciplines and expertise that takes years to pursue and gain experience.  They are often referred to by physicians who treat environmental illness and integrative medicine specialists who have concluded that the patients home is creating or exacerbating chronic illness or that clean air and excellent IAQ is essential and necessary to get well.  They can also address the many questions most single discipline tradesmen cannot answer, including the links to illness.
