Re: Know anything about mold fogging products?

[Guest guest]

The mold remediation company that botched remediation after the first attempt

went back a second time and " fogged " the condo but failed to remove all the mold

in the crawl space. By the time they fogged and tried to make it habitable it

was to late i was to sick to move back. sorry wish i could be of more help

a fogging product used in their remediation? Know anything about their success?

I was sensitized to bioaerosol from a dirty old inadequately functioning air

conditioner in my workplace. A cleaning company which advertised itself as an

IAQ expert was called in. They opened the HVAC, vacuumed what they could, and

fogged it with Oxine, a trademarked water solution of chlorine dioxide. They

removed none of the black fiberglass insulation inside. For a few months

afterward it was fine. Eventually the same company was called in to again

address the same smelly problem. They did the same thing. Continued exposure had

increased my sensitivity. The treatment was only effective about two weeks for

me, though most people didn't notice a mold smell until about two months.

As Carl Grimes, Jeff May, and Dr. Thrasher have said, if you can't get away

from the mold, you must remove the mold and the reason it is growing, namely a

moisture problem. Failure to do so only postpones the inevitable. Dirty wet

conditions will always grow mold. You can kill it, but if the dirt and moisture

remain, it will always come back. I suspect that fogging a place after thorough

cleanup and elimination of moisture problems might be effective. But then again,

if the problems are corrected, there shouldn't be any need to fog anything.
