Hello Garrick,
Assuming that you need 4 liters for your fogger and you are simply trying to
prevent mold and mildew from forming...
Place 80 ml of 5% sodium chlorite in a container and add 16 ml of 50% citric
acid. Swirl together and let this activate for 10 minutes. Then add it to the
4 liters of water in your fogger.
You want to set the fogger to a very fine mist and then you fog from one end of
the room, then move the fogger to the other end of the room and fog back to
were the fogger was initially. You can also fog around the perimeter of the
room.
You have to be mindful to avoid the fumes.
This solution has 600 PPM available chlorine dioxide (it should not bleach but
it is best to take care not to spill any) and 120 PPM of that is free chlorine
dioxide. The chlorous acid residual will offer protection against further mold
and mildew growth for 2 - 6 weeks depending on atmospheric conditions.
When you are done, be sure to run some water through your fogger. The chlorous
acid solution will make the plastic of the fogger brittle and it will break if
it is not rinsed out.

Hi
I would be interested in mixing instructions for future reference. I have
MMS, I have citric acid which is cheap on eBay. I even know a sodium chlorite
supplier. My take on MMS is that it disrupts digestion of cooked foods. Might
be better on a raw diet or juice fast or a mix of the two.
Thanx
G

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.

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
