Mold Medic - How Property Owners Can Effectively Clean up Mold

Steps for Proper Mold Remediation (clean-up)

Proactive Treatment (Mold and Mildew Prevention)

  1. The key step in the prevention of mold growth is to eliminate moisture. Completely dry all contaminated areas (use fans, dehumidifiers, and/or air movers). This step must be completed within 48 hours of water infiltration. If flooded by gray water, (sewer or flood waters) area must be dried within 24 hours.
  2. After drying, spot-treat contaminated areas with Mold Medic Disinfectant Spray. Monitor area and repeat if necessary.

Reactive Treatment (Active Mold and Mildew Clean-up and Removal)

  1. In area's where mold growth is active, first use Mold Medic Encapsulator. This product works by encapsulating the mold spores; preventing them from spreading though out the premises during the clean-up process. To remove the residue, use a hepa or filtered vacuum or just wipe clean with a damp cloth after allowing encapsulating foam to dry (approx. 20 minutes after use)
  2. Next, thoroughly clean and scrub contaminated area using Mold Medic Disinfectant Spray to kill any surface mold and inhibit new growth for the next 28 days. (Note: If not just topical you may be required to remove contaminated material such as drywall, boxes, insulation, etc., contain in plastic bag and discard. Monitor and repeat process until no visual signs or musty odors exist.
  3. If area of contamination is exposed to high moisture levels regularly (i.e. basement walls) we recommend sealing with our line of anti-fungal protective coatings. These products will kill and inhibit the growth of mold and prevent a reoccurrence as well as treating areas that may have been missed in the remediation process.
  4. An effective, preventative maintenance program can be easily practiced by re-treating problem areas every four weeks. All areas should be monitored regularly and your nose is the best tool for detecting future problems.
