Puraclenz Recommendation for Mold Problems.
STEP 1 - REMEDIATE
If you have a significant mold problem and/or suffer significant health problems as a result of the presence of mold in your building, Puraclenz strongly recommends professional remediation as a first step.
NOTE: Remediation efforts are likely to spread mold spores through your air. It is important to run your Puraclenz purifier continuously for at least seven days prior to remediation and continuously thereafter to prevent the return of mold growth.
STEP 2 - DEHUMIDIFY
Reduce room humidity to less than 60%. Mold grows and thrives in a humid environment. Humidity also encourages the spread of mold. This is especially problematic after a building is flooded or has leaking plumbing. The sooner damp or wet items are either completely dried or removed, the better. A small, inexpensive humidistat can help measure room-by-room humidity.
STEP 3 - PURACLENZ
Mold spores are nearly everywhere. Even after professional remediation, mold spores will migrate back into our home or business. Puraclenz patented Recharge Cell® technology proactively deactivates mold spores in the air and on exposed surfaces. This means Puraclenz technology is able to stop mold spores from forming new mold colonies because it deactivates mold spores in room air and on exposed surfaces, making the spores incapable of forming new mold colonies. Our technology is designed to be run 24/7 so the concentration of ions remains as high as possible.
How do Puraclenz Photon® and Core purifiers help with mold and mycotoxin problems? 
Puraclenz has two models the Photon® and the Core™. Click on the links to view the purifiers on the website page for price information.
Photon® uses the patented Recharge Cell® technology generating PCO ions in the air to reduce and deactivate viruses, bacteria, and mold spores in the air and on exposed surfaces.
PCO ions attack mold spores mid-air and on surfaces to prevent them from making new colonies (reduces the source of mycotoxins).Core™ uses the patented Recharge Cell® technology generating PCO ions in the air to reduce and deactivate viruses, bacteria, and mold spores in the air and on exposed surfaces. AND has a True HEPA filtration, activated carbon and internal germicidal UV-C lamp to significantly reduce airborne and surface-dwelling problems.
Mold spores, hyphae, and mycotoxins are filtered out by HEPA. Activated Carbon may help to chemically bind to any "loose" mycotoxins in the air.
Germicidal UV helps to break down mold remnants in the filter material. PCO ions attack mold spores mid-air and on surfaces to prevent them from making new colonies (reduces the source of mycotoxins).
Do Puraclenz ions eliminate mold spores?
Our technology is quite effective at deactivating mold spores (as the test reports on our website indicate). Although some academic studies indicate PCO technology can fully degrade a mold spore to minerals, we have not conducted this kind of test using our technology. So, Puraclenz is not comfortable making claims about mold spore removal. We recommend appropriate surface cleaning and room air filtration like HEPA to facilitate the removal of any biological remnants.
What's the proof of our effectiveness against mold?
95.1% effective at reducing dangerous mold Aspergillus brasiliensis in the air.
Aspergillus brasiliensis is a black mold endospore that causes allergic reactions and is surrogate for Toxic Black Mold, Dark Grey Mold and other species of allergy causing molds.
99.75% effective at reducing Candida albicans mold spores from surfaces.
Plates with live Candida albicans mold spores were placed over 8 feet away from the device during this 8-hour test following EN 17272 standards.
