is it used fo mold spores following water in basement
216231
the mold should be washed with a 50 /50 mix of bleach and water allow to totally dry out and i would use an oil based stain blocking odorless primer instead

all depends on what type of material ,this won't work on plywood . i suggest first to get a dehumidifier to remove all moisture .then bleach (straight) this will kill the spores , then use kilz !

Absolutely an excellent choice for fogging! Using Mold KillerTM in a fogger unit creates a very thick cloud of mist, one you can't see through at all. Additionally, Mold KillerTM will air-out and not stain any surface. It won't cause contamination to the indoor environment, as many products do. With a couple of fans and free air, you can help the live and dead mold spores escape to the outdoors. Plus Mold KillerTM will provide ongoing protection against mold rebirth. http://itk1.com/content/authorcert.pdfJay

Absolutely yes. I did the same in my basement and have been using for last few weeks.

I'm sorry I missed this question 4 months ago... I just sprayed and walked away on the wood beams in my basement. In one or two places I needed to spray again a few days later but this is the easiest way to DIY kill mold in your house.

Mold spores can range from 3-100 microns with some even being as small as 1 micron. Since this air purifier has a HEPA filter rated to filter up to 0.3 microns, it would be safe to assume that it is effective against mold spores.

I believe mold is relatively large, so it will. However, you will probably want to get a unit with a silver filter in it to kill any trapped mold spores.

I would say yes. It has worked well for me appling liquid wood hardener, which is high in voc's, in my basement.

I would think so, I've not had a moldy LP so I can't say yes. However the system and cleaner work really well, I'm pretty pleased with the results. The water was filthy after my first 20 cleans!

It should, most mold will fluorescent. However I don't think it will work all that well. I might be mistaken, but I believe that any mold on the interior side of drywall should be visible to the eye, and mold in the carpet fibers will mostly be removed by the vacuum cleaner. Its the mold inside of the wall cavity (very common because of poor vapor barriers and failed weather stripping) and under the carpet (in the reinforced webbing and padding) that you wont be able to see at all. You can check the drywall at the seams and edges, and you can leave the carpet un-vacuumed for a couple of weeks, if you have mold then that is the only way you should be able to detect it with UV light. Ammonia and other safer botanical chemicals can be used for the carpet, but the drywall will most certainly be ruined as the mold will be inside of the calcium sulfate substrate. This would definitely work for grout and tile, but the key is that UV light will only cause fluorescence in what the light can hit.

Yes, it will test for airborne mold spores which may be hiding behind walls and flooring etc... It really works and is professional quality grade air testing.

Yes. Just take a cloth and warm soapy water and wipe it clean. It isn't like some that are porous and can get mold in them.

No. Regular water but you need to add disinfectant to prevent mold and bacteria.

I don't know about the mold spores but after using for fire restoration and water damage I think it would work on mold. We did have to run it for a few days to kill all odors. We were very pleased with the ultimate results. It saved us a very substantial amount of money You absolutely cannot be in the premises while the machine is operating and must let the area air out afterwards

Agreed, mold can develop if you let it wet for too long. However, I do recommend this product. Have been using it for some months now and no complains.

I would assume so. I used this in my old basement that had issues with water during heavy rains. Water would come through the foundation. I used this with their seam tape and the basement was dry as a bone. We went to sell and an inspector said that we had high moisture readings up to 12" high. Needless to say, we did get the basement professionally waterproofed to sell the house. I can tell you this stuff works and works very well. Hope this helps

Yes, it has brought our 1500 square foot basement from 75 to 35% humidity. Drain directly to sump pump. You will need rubber washer is using gravity drain as they are too cheep to include one

Unless it gets below 40 degrees I would not worry about it. The unit is used to remove humidity which happens to most basements in the summer. I have one and love it. It took my humid basement where moisture was about 75 percent down to 40 to 45 in about a week. Would not be without it.
