Handling Surfaces Contaminated with Mold, Controlling Odors, Organic Waste, Solvents and Oil Contamination

by Winston Kao on June 23, 2010

Recently, a person emailed me with the following question regarding mold and asthma, and I thought I would share with all of you!

Question: We have found severe water damage and black mold in the floor and walls of our summer trailer. Do you have anything to at least kill the mold? It’s kicking my asthma into high gear.

Answer: As for handling a mold infection for the body, you would take the Rest Easy Turmeric brew to handle that. You take 1-2 ounces of Rest Easy 3-4 times a day until symptoms are gone and continue a few days after to ensure that the mold infection is totally handled and does not return. This generally takes 10-14 days to handle.

Everyone is allergic to mold!

Everyone is allergic to mold. The only way to truly handle that is to handle the source of the mold contamination wherever you are. Ensuring that the surfaces and rooms are dry is a key factor. Moist environments or high humidity environments will always grow more molds.

The Inner Garden does NOT kill mold; it controls the environment by providing other species of microbes other than the mold. The combination of these microbes will maintain a balance and thus the mold has a greater difficulty in growing in excess.

This is working with Mother Nature rather than fighting her and killing her creations.

If you have any further questions on how to handle mold in you home, please feel free to call me.

To handle odors, organic waste, solvents, and oil contamination the following will be the simplest instructions. For more complex situations we have many other methods:

· Inner Garden: This is a dark brown solution, when it is diluted it will still be slightly yellow tan color in the water.
· IG is a totally safe soil-based microorganism mixture. We use it to make compost, fertilize vegetables, and hundreds of other applications on farms. It can also be used to clean up rivers, lakes, oceans and the Ecosystem.

“One should wear high quality solvent base rebreathers and a full suit to protect oneself from mold spores.” IG is very safe but the Mold spores are HIGHLY TOXIC!

IG is totally safe to use without any protection at all, but if you enter a High Mold Spore area you MUST protect yourself.

Some basic information having to do with certified mold free tests:

1. In order to sell a house you will need a Mold Free Certification.
2. Mold testing procedure: They take outside and interior air samples, and compare them. If the samples turn out to be the same or the interior is lower the building is deemed mold free.
3. However, if there is visible mold still present, they will then take a piece of sticky tape and take a sample.

In order to ensure that the homeowner gets a mold free certification, our recommendations are as follows:

4. Initial entry to a room full of sofas, files and household goods, one should use a waterless paint sprayer (rent this from Home Depot or Lowe’s) and finely mist EVERYTHING in sight, from ceiling to floor, wall to wall. This will significantly drop the highly toxic mold spores, and other toxic fumes. You still should wear expensive solvent-based respirators. Men must have a clean shave so as not to have air leakage around the facemask. Mold spore toxicity is very powerful and one should apply the greatest care possible when entering such an environment.
5. Now you can remove the furniture and start removing the interior sheetrock and insulation up to the flood line. You DO NOT NEED TO REMOVE THE EXTERIOR WALL.
6. After the removal of the inner walls and insulation you now use an airless paint sprayers with diluted [1:20 or 1:50] Inner Garden. Spray off the visible mold from the interior side of the exterior wall, and all the studs.
7. Squeegee the excess water off and if possible, use a blower to dry the area.
8. After the surface is FULLY dry, replace new insulation and sheet rock.
9. Unlike bleach (chlorine), the new dry surface will not attract new mold growth. Even EPA is now recommending soap and water to remove the mold and NOT BLEACH.

Mixing quantities:

1. For the heavy odor contamination (flood damage, cat & dog urine other organic materials such as gasoline) concrete floor, tile, carpet, use 4-8 oz. IG to 1 gallon of water (1:20 to 1:50 ratio mix). Spray the area heavily until saturated or there is a thin layer of solution on the concrete floor. Let air-dry. Do not mop up, just let the microbes penetrate and eat the oil, odor, and organic material out. This is particularly true for the initial spraying. For the power washer use the maximum setting for the uptake of the IG.

2. For heavy contamination soil, WITH LIVE PLANTS. Use 1:1:500 and NO stronger or you will “KILL” the plants (you will end up composting the plants if you use too strong of a dose). Use 1.5 teaspoons of IG to 1.5 teaspoons of molasses [optional for molasses] or some source of sugar and minerals (Food for the microbes) to 1 gallon of water. Spray heavily until saturated or there is a thin layer of solution on the concrete. Let it air dry do not mop up, just let the microbes penetrate and eat the oils out.
· 1:500 is roughly (¾ teaspoon to 1 quart of water, or 1.5 teaspoons to 1-gallon water.)

3. For heavy contaminated soil WITHOUT LIVE PLANTS. Use 1:1:100 RATIO. 2oz IG to 2 oz. Molasses or white sugar (Food for the microbes) to 1 gallon of water. Spray heavily until saturated or there is a thin layer of solution on the concrete. Let it air dry do not mop up, just let the microbes penetrate and eat the oils out.

4. For odors in the ceiling, ventilation ducts and walls, or drapes (On light colors, DO A TEST to make sure there is no browning effect) Use 1oz. IG and 1 gallon of water. Spray a fine mist, not drenching on surfaces. Repeat spray as the odor returns. Do not try to remove the entire odor at one time. Fine spray repeated over several days is recommended. Note this is NOT a chemical so it takes a little time to do its job!

5. After you have mixed the solution you should completely use it all. The left over solution may be used on the following day. The solution should definitely not be kept for more than 48 hours for it will spoil. If you have about a gallon left, thin it down with approximately five gallons of water and water the plants. If you have a small amount left, add water until it is a light brown/almost clear color approximately 1:500 ratio and use that to water your plants with. Or you can pour the undiluted mixture down the toilet, thus cleaning your septic lines. Pour the left over solution at the last minute after everybody has gone to bed, this way, the microbes will have time to eat out all the sludge in the line during the night and slowly leach over to the pipes without being flushed. You’ll get a greater efficiency this way.

6. After a couple of days please call me and tell me your progress. There are many other solutions. Let’s see if the simplest one works.
