Does the MaxBlaster kill mold and mold spores?

Mold Remediation makes up a huge portion of our business... we estimate as many as one out of every three customers is using their MaxBlaster to eliminate mold in some form or another.

And here's what we can tell you...

Ozone kills mold. And it kills mold spores. But because you are dealing with what is as much a health issue as an odor issue we recommend doing everything possible to succesfully treat these projects, which in many cases involves more than just using your ozone generator.

According to Mitch Petersilge with Imperium Contracting, a mold remediation professional who uses our ozone generators in his business, here is a simple 4-step remedy that the average homeowner can follow to effectively treat mold...

Step 1: Cease the cause of moisture
Step 2: Scrub any visible mold with a mixture ratio of:

Hydrogen Peroxide... 1 Pint
Baking Soda... 1/2 Cup
Dish Soap... 1 Teaspoon

Step 3: Bring room to lowest possible humidity levels
Step 4: Operate your MaxBlaster Ozone Generator

Mold should be considered on the more difficult end of the spectrum of projects.
(see our owner's manual for run times)

And we recommend over-doing it when it comes to how long you should run your MaxBlaster. In other words... it's better to be safe than sorry. Even though it may be inconvenient to remove all the people, pets, and plants from a home with mold for several days... it may just be worth it in the long run.

*For total protection while completing mold treatments please use the protective face mask accessory, and for projects where mold may be found on/inside walls please consider using the spout outlet with tube accessory to push the ozone output directly into the wall via a pre-cut inconspicuous hole.

We recommend doing as much independent research on the effects and recommendations for using ozone generators to treat mold. You may even want to take a look at Mitch's site to learn more...
