Mold Removal |
 Mold removal by baking soda blasting, has turned out to be a natural extension of the use of baking soda blasting in the fire restoration industry.
The soft, angular nature of baking soda allows for quick removal of the mold, while providing minimum impact on the wood surfaces.
We believe that soda blasting should be incorporated into a mold removal strategy in conjunction with a qualified mold removal contractor under the supervision of a mold remediation inspection company. This is not an area where soda blasting should be considered the only step required, and should best be left to professionals.
The soda blasting ( as does any other method of blasting, including dry ice ), just removes the mold growth and mold spores from the surfaces. We feel that the blasting should be followed by HEPA vacuuming, damp wiping ( with appropriate chemicals ), then HEPA vacuum and damp wiping again until a final suitable result is reached, as determined by the testing company.
While dry ice blasting leaves less residue, the process is the same. You may save a couple of hours of vacuuming, but we feel that is far outweighed by use of baking soda blasting, with increased safety to the blast operator, as well as the odor absorption of the baking soda.
