Re: Soda Blasting For Mold Removal???

More | Report Post

Sean, since there is no governing or regulatory body for the mold

how poorly conceived can be “banned”. However, there are plenty of indoor
air quality and environmental consultants who will not recommend the
procedure nor clear a structure that has been remediated with the method.
