Cleaning and disinfecting a space before a mould treatment first requires stopping the moisture source, then wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) like an N95 Respirator and isolating the area. Thoroughly vacuum with a HEPA filter and physically scrub hard surfaces using simple detergent and water prior to chemical treatment.
- Protect Yourself: Put on a N95 mask, sealed safety goggles, and long, chemical-resistant gloves.
- Ventilate & Isolate: Open windows to let in fresh air. If the mould is confined, seal the area off with plastic sheeting and duct tape to prevent spores from spreading.
- Discard Porous Materials: Any mouldy carpet, ceiling tiles, or fabrics often cannot be fully cleaned and should be sealed in plastic bags and thrown away.
- HEPA Vacuuming: Thoroughly HEPA vacuum the affected space to safely capture loose mould spores and dust before getting the area wet.
- Physical Cleaning First: Physically removing mould is crucial with effective products is critical to mitigate the return of mould. A clear case of the devil in the details.
- Dry Thoroughly: Ensure the surface is completely dry before applying any professional mould treatments, caulking, or paint to prevent the mould from coming back
Mould remediation approaches often focus primarily on containing and eliminating visible mould and its spores. However, these methods frequently overlook the invisible, odorless mycotoxins that can persist even after mould removal.
When mould is detected, there’s a high probability that mycotoxins have contaminated the entire home. Effective mould and mycotoxin remediation will comprehensively eradicate both airborne and surface-bound mycotoxins from the entire home.
It’s essential to have any active mould identified and professionally removed by a certified specialist.
Defining Cleaning, Sanitizing, and Disinfecting
Cleaning removes most germs, dirt, and impurities from surfaces. Clean with water, soap, and scrubbing. Sanitizing reduces germs to levels public health codes or regulations consider safe.
Sanitizing is unfortunately done with weaker bleach solutions or sanitizing sprays. Clean surfaces before you sanitize them. Disinfecting kills most germs on surfaces and objects.
Disinfecting is done with stronger natural or chemicals solutions. *Clean surfaces before you disinfect them.
