Many of you know my story by now. The one where I had to walk away from everything I owned because toxic mold invaded my house. As such, mold prevention and mycotoxin removal have become a regular part of my existence.
Toxic mold exposure made me a very sick person.
It darn near ended my life. It has caused permanent damage to my body, my immune system, and my brain. Being re-exposed to toxic mold and it’s evil offspring, mycotoxins, isn’t something I can afford to let happen. Therefore, like clockwork, I execute my monthly mold prevention and mycotoxin removal routine.
I am sharing my secret with all of you today because my routine has worked incredibly well! I feel great, my home environment has stayed healthy and I kept the levels of mold spores and mycotoxins at bay. This simple, cost effective routine takes me about one hour once a month…a small time investment for your health right?
Mold prevention requires two products. Two. That’s it. One is the mold prevention solution and the other is the delivery system. You can’t beat the simplicity in that. Let’s take a look at the products I use and how I make the magic happen!
Monthly Mold Prevention
In order to keep the mold spore count down in your home, office, car, etc… you will need the following two items that can be purchased through my affiliate partners:
EC3 Mold Solution Concentrate
EC3 Mold Solution Concentrate is an all-natural botanical solution that, when mixed with distilled water, can be used to maintain a mold- and bacteria-free home. The solution contains a proprietary blend of citrus seed extracts with antimicrobial properties to effectively remove the mold spores that collect on the hard and soft surfaces of your home.
This product is a recommended and proven part of the Environmental Treatment Protocol, developed by Dr. Don Dennis, for sufferers of Chronic Sinusitis or other mold related disease. This product is safe for all materials, surfaces and fabrics. This product is safe for children and pets, does not off-gas, contains no harmful chemicals and is not toxic.
EC3 Mold Solution Concentrate comes in a 16 ounce bottle, and once properly diluted, makes 1 gallon of cleaning solution which I have found more than covers a 2400 square foot home.
Longray Basic ULV Fogger with Adjustable Flow & Flex-Hose
This is the best delivery system I have found for the EC3 Mold Solution Concentrate. The Longray Basic ULV Fogger is designed to be picked up and carried around for manual, directed spraying. The bottom of the unit is a generously-sized, detachable solution tank with an easy-fill valve and a capacity scale. The top of the unit is molded into a grip handle so you can take your fogger anywhere.
It is a genuine fogger. Foggers competing in this price range are often mislabeled misters. WHO guidelines define a particle finer than 100 microns as mist, and finer than 50 microns as fog. The Longray Basic is a genuine fogger, producing a 5-50 micron fog that diffuses faster, penetrates better, and has a higher probability of coming into contact with small particles like mold spores and mycotoxins.
The unit's vortex nozzle is designed to be clog-resistant and after using it for 6 months now, I have never experiences any issues with it.
I like to put this on the “fine mist” setting. This offers the most coverage without saturating everything. I literally spray everything in my home. The mist is so fine that I haven’t had any problems spraying electronics with it. It doesn’t leave things wet on this setting.
Not only do I spray all the furnishings, I spray the counters, walls, ceilings, floors, window coverings, beddings, inside closets, etc… I also spray inside each air vent. For this, I actually keep it on mist but turn it up a notch so it is a little more concentrated and can shoot a little further.
Since vehicles can become easily contaminated, I use my mold prevention and mycotoxin removal protocol in my car as well. It takes about five minutes with the fine mist and my car feel wonderful afterwards!
Here is the bonus to using this mold prevention protocol.
It has actually been proven to reduce the levels of mycotoxins. This is huge! Not only do you get more bang for your buck but you get piece of mind that you are keeping your home and yourself healthy.
If you are looking for something to use in between monthly treatments, I highly recommend the EC3 Air Purification Candles.
As an EC3 Candle burns, the heat from the flame aerosolizes and disperses an all-natural, antifungal ingredient embedded in the soy wax into the air. The candle reduce mold counts by more than 90% in 3 hours. That is HUGE!
Additionally, independent lab tests demonstrated EC3 Candles denatured Mycotoxins. Each candle has a burn life of approximately 22 hours. The candles have no added fragrance, so as not to aggravate chemical sensitivities that are common in sinusitis sufferers.
I like to burn these around my house every week, just to ensure that no mold spores take root. So far so good!
And there you have it! My easy monthly mold prevention and mycotoxin removal protocol. Give it a try. You will be blown away at how good you feel after using this protocol.
Very interesting! I was wondering if you regularly test levels before and after your monthly home treatments and what the results show. Thanks!
Hi Sarah! I don’t test every month because of cost. The mycotoxin tests are really pricey. However, I do use the test I mention here before and after and definitely have seen improvement! https://hybridrastamama.com/an-affordable-mold-test/
We for sure have black mold in our shower. I scrub it and it stays away for a month or two but comes back. Any thoughts on how to get rid of it to begin with so I can maintain with your system described in your post? Thank you!
Hi Jenn! Shower mold is a beast unto itself. I would actually use the cleaner I mention in this post. Get the concentrated solution and pour it directly on the mold. Let it sit there for an hour and then scrub it with baking soda. Make sure you have a really strong sponge. This ought to do the trick!
