PuroClean\u2019s IICRC certified technicians follow industry best practices to properly remediate mold that has infected and\/or damaged and return the property to a pre-loss condition. Once a scope of remediation and repair has been established, they will implement engineering controls and containment to prevent cross-contamination to unaffected areas of a building utilizing negative pressure with HEPA air filtration devices. A remediation protocol is developed to remove contaminants by:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The removal of compromised materials and contents per industry standards.<\/li>\n<li>A thorough cleaning using HEPA air filter devices and HEPA vacuums.<\/li>\n<li>A thorough cleaning of all surfaces with cleaning solutions that can include EPA registered disinfectants, followed by another HEPA vacuuming of all surfaces.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many people use bleach to clean mold; however, this is an <strong>ineffective<\/strong> method as bleach doesn\u2019t kill the spores; it only bleaches them.
