Mold is a type of fungus that is found just about everywhere and plays an important role in nature where it breaks down plant and animal matter. Molds thrive on moisture and reproduce by means of tiny, lightweight spores that travel through the air. Inhalation is the primary way that mold is introduced into the human body, although exposure can also occur through the skin or one’s diet. We are all exposed to molds every day, and they are generally not harmful to healthy humans.
EasyDECON is a broad-spectrum disinfectant that can be used for mold remediation. The product is designed to be safe, effective, and easy to use. By using EasyDECON with an Intelagard delivery system mold remediators, on average, reduce their labor cost by 50%. Who doesn’t want more profit?
The following steps provide a general overview of the mold remediation process using EasyDECON:
- Containment: The first step in mold remediation is to contain the affected area to prevent the spread of mold spores to other parts of the building. This may involve the use of plastic sheeting and tape to seal off the area.
- HEPA vacuuming: Once the area is contained, the next step is to use a HEPA vacuum to remove any loose mold spores and debris. This helps to reduce the amount of mold in the area and makes the cleaning process more effective.
- Application of EasyDECON: EasyDECON can be applied to the affected area using a sprayer or foaming device. For reduced labor hours, we recommend the SwiftCAF Sprayer or the Macaw Backpack.
- Cleaning: After EasyDECON has been applied, the affected surfaces can be wiped down with a freshwater rinse. EasyDECON already contains soap, so no additional cleaning product is necessary.
- Verification: Once the cleaning process is complete, the area should be tested to ensure that all mold spores have been removed. This can be done using a variety of methods, including visual inspection and air sampling.
It is important to note that mold remediation can be a complex process, and it is often best to hire a professional remediation company to ensure that the job is done safely and effectively. Additionally, it is important to address the underlying cause of the mold growth to prevent future contamination.
