can ozone generator remove black mold?

We use the ozone generator to kill black mold. We still need to clean the area, and refinish damaged areas, once the mold has been destroyed.

It can but I dont recommend it. This specific ozone machine might take too long to produce any in decent amount of time. I hope this helps, but I recommend you do more research

Be sure you understand whether it is mold or mineral discoloration from the water. This unit will not grow mold, bacteria or mildew even though it is wet all the time. The molds are black dots and the size is about 1/4" diameter or bigger. The dark or light orange or yellow color is from the minerals in tap water. If you use distilled water or reverse osmosis filtered water, there will be no color change for a long time. The pure white color filters enable you to notice the color changes quickly. In rare cases, molds grow on the surface of filters. Cleaning mold is almost impossible. Do not use bleach to clean. Bleach is harmful to the body. Replacing filters is recommended, and you can buy them on their web site. The filter pads can be removed for replacement or washing by slipping them in or out of their respective slot. Maintenance: Cleaning a couple of times per month is recommended. It will not be easy cleaning filters after they get too dirty. Normally, the filters last for a few years if you clean them regularly and properly. Simply pop it in the dishwasher. If you do not have a dishwasher, without removing the filters, soak in cold water with a half cup (4 ozs.) of white vinegar for 6-7 hours. Rinse thoroughly with cold tap water.

There are multiple filters available for this mask. The pink 201 disks are for particulates like sawdust - but airborne particulates. They also make organic vapor filters that take out vapors such as paint, stain, etc. I'm no expert on black mold, but they also make a hybrid filter that is for particulates and vapors - which I would ASSUME is what you need. At the end of the day, the mask will work - but I'd simply visit their website to see which filter they recommend for that VERY dangerous task

Try spraying a diluted bleach (1 part bleach to 3 parts water) to kill mold.

no. machines like this will help prevent new mold spores from forming. existing mold issues must be handled by a different procedure.

This is a conditioner. Before conditioning wood ( or in the case of of wood trim in your home) it must be clean and dry and free of mold or nothing will stick for long.,... Remember, Black mold is difficult to remove from porous materials, and is a health hazard. Check with http://epa.gov and other websites for proper removal. Such as http://blackmold.awardspace.com/mold-removal-cleanup.html. But first...ask yourself, is this cutting board worth taking a chance on my family's health...or is it ready for the garbage.

I did not find a way to take it apart for cleaning... The best method I found was put to it in a jug of water with a bit of bleach and let it "dispense" the bleach solution. After repeating a few times, the odor went away but I'm not sure the mold did.

Good question! So far the only thing we have found that works to remove mold is a pressure washer.

I haven't heard of black mold in the filter. We change our filters as recommended by Brita, and have not had any problems in more than two years of using the large counter pitcher. We purchased small pitchers and water bottles as gifts last Christmas. Have not heard of any problems so far.

i am not an expert but that is what my husband and i use this product for. once a month we spray it into our air exchange and we 'believe' it helps with the mold and bacteria. it also makes the air smell good...we also get the other product...the enyzme mold stain remover...and spray that into the air exchange as well. we feel it helps but WE ARE NOT EXPERTS....

Severe cases of mold need to be remediated by mold abatement professionals. No tiny plug-in filter will prevent, or kill mold. Only whole house purifiers that attach to HVAC systems can prevent it.

Yes it kills mold spores. It is a high concentration ozone and should not be used in an occupied room as ozone is a lung and mucous membrane irritant. I believe the manual says to leave the room unoccupied for forty-five minutes after completion of ozone treatment. There is a smell of ozone that lingers for quite some time as in a couple of hours or so that some of my family finds annoying. After that time the air is quite fresh as the ozone converts back to oxygen. Even in our unfinished 150 year old brick and dirt floored basement feels fresh. It has drastically cut down on any mold problems in that space. Yes it kills mold spores.

I would not buy thus product. It came with a very bad odor and when taken apart new it had black mold. They would not replace it.

There exist strains of mold that can survive the ozone process. that being said, it does kill most of them. do not let people are pets be inside while this is in use, it is very dangerous.

It is effective in preventing mold or cleaning out small amounts of mold when used with the ozone generator turned on. The ozone generator is very strong and probably should not be used on the highest setting while people are present in the house. We usually run it on the lowest setting when we are home and even then for no more than a couple of days at a time. Have not tried it in an area where mold is heavily established.

No problem with black mold. Just a problem with it not misting. I threw it away.
