Case Study: A Family’s Journey from a Toxic Environment to Lasting Comfort 

Background

Three years ago, the Medina family moved into what they thought would be their forever home. But almost immediately, their health began to deteriorate. The mother Blanca, two months pregnant with her third child, experienced an unusually difficult pregnancy, marked by constant illness. Her two-year-old began experiencing respiratory distress, often waking in the night struggling to breathe. Her three-year-old developed behavioral and neurological challenges that were later identified as part of a broader inflammatory response.

The Hidden Problem

After months of unexplained symptoms and numerous home inspections, the source of their health issues was finally discovered: a hidden leak in the plenum of their HVAC system had allowed toxic black mold—Chaetomium—to grow and spread through the ductwork. Chaetomium is a water-damage mold known to produce the mycotoxin sterigmatocystin, a potent chemical residue that can persist even after mold remediation. The family was forced to replace the entire system, including all ductwork and the plenum.

The SuperStratum Solution

Following professional mold remediation, the Medina family understood the importance of going further—detoxifying the home from residual contaminants, especially mycotoxins. They turned to SuperStratum’s three-step detox system to complete the job and restore peace of mind.

• Clean: They began by fogging their entire home with Superstratum Building Cleaner, a high-efficacy HE-HOCl formula. The impact was immediate—they said, “the air felt noticeably lighter and cleaner.” Building Cleaner has been third-party tested to break down and destroy mycotoxins on treated surfaces.
  
  
• Gas: Next, they deployed Superstratum Deodor Bombs. These chlorine dioxide gas treatments reached deep into crevices and hidden areas, neutralizing odors, VOCs, and surface-level mycotoxins that may have persisted post-remediation.
  
  
• Coat: Finally, they applied Superstratum Endurance Coating to high-moisture and high-traffic areas. This invisible, water-resistant film is engineered to help protect the surface coating from microbial degradation and buildup.

The family also made a habit of cleaning bedrooms and surfaces regularly with Superstratum’s Everyday Cleaner, especially during allergy season—leveraging the power of HOCl to maintain a fresh-feeling and balanced indoor environment.

The Results

By going beyond traditional mold remediation and addressing deep environmental detoxification, the Medina family experienced a noticeable shift in their home environment. They shared:

• Their two-year-old no longer struggles with the respiratory issues they had previously noticed.
• Their three-year-old showed improved behavior and emotional regulation compared to before the cleaning.
• The mother described her postpartum recovery as smoother and less stressful than past experiences.
• The family as a whole reports breathing easier, sleeping more soundly, and feeling more at ease in their space.

These statements reflect personal experiences. Superstratum products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. Individual results may vary.

A Lasting Impact

The Medina family continues to use SuperStratum’s products as part of their regular home maintenance routine. They’ve shared their experience with friends and community members, becoming passionate advocates for toxin-aware and cleaner living.

“Having clean air and a home free of harmful residues has made a big difference for us. I’m thankful to have found something that helps us feel safe and supported.”
