Re: Soda Blasting For Mold Removal???

More | Report Post

I also agree that soda blasting creates more problems than it
solves. How anyone can believe that aerosolizing contamination
is a good thing for contaminated structures is beyond me. The
only folks pushing this technology are those who sell the
expensive equipment and soda for the process. It is being
banned in many areas and IHs won’t touch the process.

Yet another bad idea...
