Fogging - The Mould Doctor? ›

What is Fogging? Fogging is the 2nd step of our mould treatment process. Fogging will eliminate all airborne mould spores and other bacteria. The product is non-hazardous, biodegradable and not harmful to any contents.

While dry fogging is effective in preventing the spread of existing mold spores, it doesn't fix the root cause of your mold problem. This means the mold will likely keep growing back and could even do so in a matter of days.

How Much Does Mould Fogging Cost? It is important to note for mould fogging to be effective, it needs to be part of a comprehensive mould remediation plan. Fogging as part of a professional mould removal service, can range anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars.

Fogging involves the use of specialised equipment that releases a fine mist of mould-fighting substances. This mist reaches places that are often hard to access through traditional cleaning or mould removal methods.

Applying Concrobium Mold Control with a cold (ULV) Fogger is an effective way to eliminate mold and musty smells in large or inaccessible spaces. A fogger evenly mists Concrobium Mold Control to saturate the air in the enclosed environment, and evenly coat all surfaces.

Mold professionals use expensive, professional equipment such as HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) air scrubbers, HEPA vacuums, commercial-strength dehumidifiers, etc. Regular handymen won't have that stuff.

Your post-remediation cleaning should be thorough and focus on removing any dust or spores that might have settled during the process. Use damp cloths to clean surfaces and a HEPA-filter vacuum to clean carpets and upholstery. Avoid stirring up dust to prevent spores from becoming airborne.

Contact Time: The fog maintains contact with air and surfaces for a sufficient duration, allowing the antimicrobial agents to effectively kill mold spores. Residue-Free: Unlike traditional methods, dry fogging leaves no sticky or oily residue, making it an ideal solution for homes, hospitals, schools, and offices.

Can you bomb a room for mold? ›

Mold Bomb Particulate Fogger works great in almost any environment, including rooms, attics, basem*nts, and crawlspaces.

Using Air Purifiers

Air purifiers and air cleaners are devices that remove airborne pollutants from the air in your home, including mold spores. In general, they work by drawing air into the system, which then passes through a series of filters designed to capture and remove microscopic particles from the air.

How long does the effect of mosquito fogging last? The duration of effectiveness varies, but typically, mosquito fogging provides temporary relief, lasting a few days to a couple of weeks. Regular fogging may be necessary in areas with high mosquito populations.

Dry Fogging

Low concentration ozone is considered useless, and ULV fogging can't achieve the necessary dwell time in the air to eliminate airborne mold, While high-concentration ozone can be unsafe and damaging.

A common misconception is that spraying mold with bleach will kill it. Unfortunately, this is false. Spraying bleach on mold doesn't kill the mold; it simply discolors it and leaves spores behind. Not to mention, removing mold with a solution of bleach and water can allow mold to regrow even faster.
