Does this also remove mold in air? I have already had the actual problem (broken sprinkler in window well) remediated professionally with the removal of sheet rock, sanded (with vacume system) wooden framing, then surfaces sprayed w/fungicide before new sheet rock, etc. but the air quality test came back high. And the thing is, the problem appeared very minor before any work started to begin with- no visable mold or smell, just uneven sheet rock at bottom of window . Not sure what next step is since the pros already came :-/. Carpet was also sprayed with fungicide and then professionally cleaned. Might this help kill what's in the air and solve problem?

While my application was mostly to kill mold inside an interior wall where the air was part of this issue it worked in that application. It sounds like the air in you situation might not be as contained as what I had. If you could limit the air flow in the area for a day or two it should work, but you are really outside my knowledge and experience area.

It removed the mold from the air of my home. I did take it one step further and removed the air filters from my air ducts, turned off the heat and a/c, but made sure the fan was set to "on". I also used their Biocide 100 cleaning solution on as many surfaces as I could get to. It worked GREAT, and was a heck of a lot cheaper than those so-called mold eradication service people. I hope this helps!

I honestly do not know. I didn't go to those lengths. I did however feel that for the cost the forget was worth it to reach places I couldn't imagine.

Scrape the peeling paint sample, I collected dust from above the door jam. I tried to go as close to the smell as possible. Mine turned out to be the mulch outside my apartment door, that was pushed up against the house, under the window where I smelled mold strongest. But if you have wet drywall, depending on where it is, you should check your caulking around windows, doors etc. Get a plumber in and have them look for a leak.

I've been running it the past 3 months and for the first time I don't have black mold on the floor finished basement floor. It probably works by constantly moving air through the basement so it doesn't have as good of a chance at leading to mold and the musty smell. It uses only up to 60 watts so its very efficient. It dehumidifies because when you exhaust the moist basement stale air it has to be replaced by the upstairs air which is usually drier. the upstairs air should be drier regardless if you are running the AC.

plausible. Just cause mold is behind walls does not mean it is not airborne or spores ?toxins escaping. This is an air cell test wit h a tape lift included. What is your scenario?

Hi, I installed 3 of them in Kauai, Hawaii, 9 years ago. This past fall we had a huge storm & the top covering of all 3 cracked & parts of them blew off.We ordered new vents, installed just the top part on the existing bases (which were under the roof shingles) and all are now perfect. Do you get constant sun, salt, & breeze? We have no way of knowing how long the new ones will last, but if the base is still good, we will just replace the top again, because I LOVE these vents, they are above bathrooms & we do NOT have 1 speck of MOLD. Hope this helps, and Good Luck with your project! Lucy Hi, I installed 3 of them in Kauai, Hawaii, 9 years ago.

This stuff is awesome. Had a major mold/mildew issue in our tile walk-in shower. While we could scrub for an hour on the tile to clean it, the grout was impossible to clean. We feared it was permanently stained. Coated the entire shower in this stuff and 15 minutes later it looked brand new! Almost 5 months later, no return mold. ***WARNING*** Leave the area (preferably the house) after applying while you wait for it to work. It has crazy strong fumes. Strongly recommend a respirator mask while rinsing it off as well. Otherwise, do small sections at a time to avoid getting "gassed" out like I did because I was over-ambitious and did't think it through. ;) This stuff is awesome.

Here is a link to their website: http://www.slipxsolutions.com/materials. I have had them since August, and haven't noticed any mold or mildew buildup. Hope this helps you find what you need to know.

It kills the mold and retards it from growing, but it leaves the dead mold stain. Think of it as scarring. They recommend another product to actually remove the mold and it takes scrubbing, not just spraying.

Good question ... I also get a powdery residue all over the molds from time to time, I was puzzled but assumed it was the hardness of our water. This company is totally non-responsive even though they claim to want feedback.

It depends on how much rain you get. You're in MD (I'm in VA) which effects how quickly W&F works. Down here in VA Beach it takes about 2 maybe 3 months do get rid of the mold. I would say you could probably stain after that. We've used it on the 25 year old concrete walk & it looks like it was laid last week. We apply every Fall because after a year it's not working anymore.

IMHO.......absolutely not!!!! Mold is a difficult problem to rectify because it can be so invasive. There are many mold strains, most benign but others are deadly, so tackling mold begins with proper identification. Once identified you can choose the best method of eradication. Physical removal of surface mold followed up with direct application of a mold fighting formula is your best approach. Keep in mind that repeated applications will most likely be necessary if mold infestation is severe. This Air Purifier simply is not up the task of eliminating your mold problem despite whatever claims are made. An expensive multi-stage unit would be a more suitable choice. These units are very effective but annual operating costs, in the form of replacement filters and UV bulbs, can be excessive. Just my 2 cents.

I live in Florida in the winter and I came back this year to a lot of algae/mold on my driveway. The sprayer cleaned everything off like magic with no cleanser, so yes I think it will get the mildew off. Mildew is nothing compared to the algae/mold you get in Florida during the summer rainy season. Oh, and a tip just buy the pressure sprayer not the offered attachments.

I just applied this sealer about 3 weeks ago, so it's too early to give a definitive answer, but we have a built in tiled niche where we keep our shampoo bottles and that was always an area where mold and mildew would show up on the grout. Since applying the sealer I haven't noticed any mold and mildew.

I used bleach to clean mine. You have to rinse about 100 times to make sure to get it all out but it worked. All mold gone. I left overnite. Only use enough bleach to cover the bottom

I'm not sure. If the mold is from moisture, then maybe not - though if it's airborne then the unit will pull it out of the air. Much winds up in the filters, and the rest on the carpet - but the air does get cleaned.Hope this helps.
