How to clean mold

Cleaning mold in home

Cleaning mold is very difficult because when you make mold angry. It spores out, making anyone’s reaction to the mold worse than when it was dormant on the wall. That is why we fog the whole home. This kills the spores in the air and in porous and nonporous surfaces.

For homes that have visible signs of mold we will sometimes spot treat them beforehand. This will destroy the mold in that area but it will make the spore count in the air much higher so we will always try to follow with a fogging the next day.

If you need to clean something that is moldy be sure to wear proper protective gear (ideally a mask with a respirator) and take the item you are cleaning outside in the sun and use Hydrogen Peroxide to clean all surfaces and let it sit in the sun for a few hours.

We can’t guarantee this will remove

Cleaning “musty” clothes

The musty smell from clothes is from mold and it is almost always the result of excess moisture in the clothing.

To remove, try some combination of the following:
1. Clean your washing machine and the ring around the front
2. Make sure your dryer is on “dry” not “less dry”
3. Add a wool dryer ball to your dryer
4. Buy clothes with natural, organic fabrics - it is typically plastic based fabrics (like
polyester) that trap moisture and get musty
5. Wash your clothes again
6. Pre-soak clothes in vinegar
7. Dry them outside in the sun
