Guest guest Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 hello, i have looked in files and search for any information on the best air purifiers and found very little information. could you respond to help with this. i am in desperate need to buy 2 for my house. one for bedroom, and for family room(larger size). house has been checked for mold. i also pray the boxes and furniture moved from climate control storage unit (never being exposed to mold, as far as i know) is ok. had a mold sniffing dog and inspector come. HAS ANYONE HEARD OF OR HAS USED DOGS TO DETECT MOLD? the dog sniffed a window where the molding was rotten. the inspector used infra red lights and has detected the molding contains mold but doesn't seem to go beyond the molding, like no leak from the roof or walls, it seems to be from condensation that has wet wood and caused mold. the landlord is going to replace. will that be good enough? how should he replace? how should area be cleaned? if mold has extended, beyond the molding, how do we safely remove? the dog hit on 2 boxes. we took stuff out and removed box. i am assuming if the box had mold the contents did too. i am assuming if two boxes had mold maybe others did too, that we may have removed before the dog got here. i unwrapped the bubbled wrapped items and we wiped with bleach wipes. is that good enough? how do i clean my house now? if mold boxes are out, do i hepa vacuum all of home, walls, furniture, floors. do we wipe down everything with bleach wipes? or does this make it worse? i have a sensitivity to chemicals. what do other do to clean hose and rid as much as possible, mold spores? have i cross contaminated again? i wonder how the boxes in cc storage got mold? i am beside myself right now. after cleaning do air purifiers help and which do i buy? if house is clean except for the window, which is being replaced, is it safe to say the place is fairly safe? can one get rid of most spores, with cleaning, hepa and purifiers? do anyone every get well from all of this? i am on csm and see a tiny improvement in 3 1/2 weeks, just don't know if i will every get better having be exposed for 2 years in one house, unknowing what was wrong, moved to new place with only clothes, books. picture (so still had mold with me) got better but still sick. moved to another new house, moved all moldy furniture to new house, unknowing, and was badly re=exposed a second time. has now moved from louisiana to colorado and rented a new house and as above have described problems. can anyone help? i know there are mold spore everywhere, but do we ever recovery from this? are we ever safe? if i have cross contaminated, i am dunned b/c i am out of money and still very sick. thanks for help, support and response to questions sorry so long denise hope ya'll are well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
