Hello Lisa, I would suggest mixing up a chlorous acid solution and fogging it in. If you don't have a fogger, a garden sprayer will work. Chlorous acid is made by adding citric acid to sodium chlorite. Do you have access to these chemicals or know anything about them? When you apply this to the room, it will stabilize the situation. It will keep mold and mildew from forming, and kill off any that is just starting to form. Let me know if you want to go this way and I can give you the mixing instructions and all the help you need in applying it.

Could use some advice on PREVENTING mold Hi All, Our boiler died on Friday leaving us with several inches of water in the basement which traveled to carpeted areas. We have vacuumed and also have a dehumidifier running.and it's lots better but definitely still damp. It wasn't caught right away so there was steam everywhere and condensation on the walls (almost like a sauna etc.). The boiler will be fixed this week (hopefully.funds are low blah blah blah) but my major concern is mold and mildew. Does anybody have any ideas on how to PREVENT mold from starting? Anything would be helpful as I'm just about clueless.we can't afford Serve Pro or any other professional to come in and help. I do have a pretty good sized fan (it sounds like an airplane) that I can use.but it's been raining all weekend (yea.NOT!) and didn't think it made any sense opening up the windows to potentially allow any more moisture IN. Anybody? Please? And I thank you for even the silliest idea as aside from running the dehumidifier (which by no means is commercial) - I honestly don't have a clue. Thanks SO much. Lisa
