Step by Step DIY Home Detox

If you're looking for ways to create a healthier living environment, the Whole Home System provides a practical approach to addressing one of the most common causes of building-related illness: mycotoxins. This blog is for anyone, whether you're just learning about the Whole Home System or eager to dive into detailed videos and step-by-step instructions. Download the Superstratum Whole Home System Manual Seven Steps to the Whole Home System Step 1: Pre-Fog with Superstratum Building Cleaner The first step of the Whole Home System is designed to suppress dust particles, remove mycotoxins from the air, and destroy mycotoxins on visible surfaces. Equipment Needed:  Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) cold fogger 
Electric ULV Portable Fogger,
Silver Bullet Pro Painter’s tape
 6 mil plastic sheeting Prepare the home for the fogging application. Protect or remove selected items that will sustain water damage from repeated exposure to the Building Cleaner fogging mist. Use 6 mil plastic sheeting and painter’s tape to cover these items. Items to protect or remove include but are not limited to:
 Instruments Taxidermy Oil paintings and exposed artwork Electronics - TVs, laptops, headphones, monitors, etc. Paper goods  Leather surfacesAntique stained furniture 
Repeated exposure to the Building Cleaner in a fog application may cause a color change in the antique’s stain due to the oxidation properties of HOCl.
If applicable, prepare the HVAC system by turning off the A/C and heat. Then, turn the Fan to the ON position so that air is circulating throughout the home. Fill your Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) cold fogger with Superstratum Building Cleaner, and begin to fog the entire home.
 Fog your entire home with Superstratum Building Cleaner suppressing dust particles and destroying mycotoxins. Move from room to room to ensure full volumetric coverage of all spaces in your home by fogging the general air space, wall-to-wall, and floor-to-ceiling, as well as accessible crawlspaces and attics.
 Coat the walls, ceiling, and general air space with the Building Cleaner mist. Fog your furniture and contents, applying a moderate mist to all items such as clothing, bedding, towels, dog beds, furniture pieces, rugs, cushions, mattress, toiletries, dishware, etc. No personal protective equipment is required for this step. Once the pre-fog step is complete, you may turn the HVAC cooling and heating systems back on if desired. Allow the surfaces to dry before proceeding to the next microclean step.
 Coverage Guidelines: 1 gallon of Superstratum Building Cleaner covers approximately 5000 cubic feet for pre-fog step application. You may use our Whole Home System Order Wizard to easily calculate the amount of Building Cleaner needed for the prefog. Step 2: Microclean with Superstratum Building Cleaner Remove dust particles and remaining mycotoxins from surfaces. Equipment Needed: Spray bottles or garden sprayer, disposable wipes, HEPA vacuum (optional) If your home has high levels of dust and debris, it is recommended to use a HEPA filtered vacuum to make this microclean step easier and more effective. Focus your attention on areas in the home that accumulate dust, such as baseboards, around window and door frames, cabinets, shelves, and light fixtures. Use a HEPA filtered vacuum to remove dust and debris from moderate to high dust and debris areas and furniture.
 Grab your spray bottles or garden pump sprayers full of the Building Cleaner and have a large supply of non-woven microfiber disposable wipes on hand. Spray all horizontal surfaces and contents in your home thoroughly with Superstratum Building Cleaner. Allow the solution to dwell on the surface for 10 seconds before wiping the surface dry and removing the dust with non-woven/microfiber disposable wipes. Make sure to have more than enough disposable wipes on hand for this step!Use one disposable wipe for each content or one disposable wipe for every 3 square feet of surface area.Coverage Guidelines: 1 gallon of Superstratum Building Cleaner covers approximately 300 square feet with direct spray application. You may use our Whole Home System Order Wizard to easily calculate the amount of Building Cleaner needed for the microclean. Step 3: Prepare for Deodor Bomb Treatment Prepare the home for chlorine dioxide gas treatment. Equipment Needed: Painter’s tape, plastic sheeting, fans, masks, gloves, elevation items IMPORTANT: Superstratum Deodor Bombs are for use in interior living and working spaces and required PPE include an N95 mask and nitrile gloves. Deodor Bomb Pros may be used in uninhabited spaces such as garages, basements, attics, crawlspaces, etc. and required PPE include aPD-100 full face respirator gas mask and nitrile gloves.
 Gather personal protective equipment including an N95 mask or PD-100 full face respirator gas mask and nitrile gloves. Ideally the Deodor Bomb treatment is completed overnight, because sunlight significantly decreases the performance of chlorine dioxide gas. If you perform this gas treatment during the day, block all sunlight from entering through the windows.
  Remove all people, plants, and pets from the home! Remove or protect selected items that may sustain damage during the Deodor Bomb treatment due to the oxidative power of chlorine dioxide gas. Use 6 mil plastic sheeting and painter’s tape to cover these items if you have not already done so in the previous steps. Items to protect or remove include but are not limited to:
 Plants Fish tanks Instruments Taxidermy Oil paintings and exposed artwork Electronic - TVs, laptops, headphones, monitors, etc. Paper goods  Leather surfaces Antique stained furniture Repeated exposure to the Deodor Bombs during a 12hr gassing may cause a color change in the antique’s stain due to the oxidation properties of chlorine dioxide.Turn off the smoke detector system, remove smoke detectors, or cover with 6 mil plastic sheeting and seal with painter’s tape.Close all exterior windows, doors, and fireplace damper. Seal any gaps or cracks around exterior windows and doors using painter’s tape and 6 mil plastic sheeting.
 Open all interior doors, drawers, cabinets, and closets to allow the gas to permeate freely through the home.
 Stand your furniture cushions and mattresses upright and remove all bedding, fitted sheets, and plastic mattress protectors to allow the chlorine dioxide gas to permeate freely through as many exposed surfaces as possible.
If desired, remove clothes from storage drawers and lay flat or place on coat hangers to allow gas to permeate freely through the clothing fibers.
 Distribute Deodor Bomb kits throughout the home. Space the kits apart in each room. Use buckets, side tables, boxes, stools, etc. to raise the kits at least three feet above the ground. Do not place packets directly on carpet or beds to avoid discoloration if spillage occurs.
Turn off any air purifiers and dehumidifiers. Turn on low speed overhead fans and/or use electrical fans to circulate the chlorine dioxide gas throughout the home, but please do not direct airflow of electrical fans to blow directly over the top of the Deodor Bombs. Providing adequate airflow with fans is important, because stagnant chlorine dioxide gas may cause discoloration on certain surfaces.
Post warning placard included in the Deodor Bomb kit to entry door to ensure the home remains unoccupied for the entire duration of the gas treatment. Coverage Guidelines:You may use our Whole Home System Order Wizard to easily calculate the size and quantity needed for the gassing. Step 4: Re-Fog with Superstratum Building Cleaner Raise humidity and prepare for gas treatment. Equipment Needed: ULV Fogger, hygrometer, plastic sheeting, tape Check all electronics such as flat screen TVs, computers, and laptops are removed or protected to prevent water damage while re-fogging. All exposed artwork, instruments, taxidermy and other delicate items should already be protected from moisture and oxidation damage in Step 3 using 6 mil plastic sheeting and painter’s tape.
  Confirm or adjust the temperature of the home between 65F and 90F. Once the desired temperature is achieved, turn OFF the HVAC system, and turn the Fan to the ON position so that air is circulating through the home. If desired, you may leave the heating system on for the Deodor Bomb treatment.
 Remove and discard your return air vent filter, and leave the vent door open for easy gas access. You may also remove vent grilles throughout the home if desired.
Fill your ULV cold fogger, and begin to re-fog the home with Building Cleaner room by room suppressing more dust particles, destroying mycotoxins, and raising the relative humidity levels. Be sure to re-fog the crawlspaces and attics if applicable. After you have finished re-fogging all the Building Cleaner for this step, monitor humidity levels with a hygrometer.
 If you have not achieved at least 65% relative humidity, continue raising the relative humidity levels. Tips for raising humidity include fogging with water and letting the steam from hot showers fill the home. Optimal conditions for a Superstratum Deodor Bomb treatment are 70°F and 70% relative humidity.
Once the re-fog is complete and your desired relative humidity levels and temperature are achieved, you may proceed immediately to the next step.
Coverage Guidelines: 1 gallon of Superstratum Building Cleaner covers approximately 10,000 cubic feet for re-fog step application. You can use the Whole Home System Order Wizard to easily calculate the amount of Superstratum Building Cleaner needed for the re-fog. Step 5: Gas with Superstratum Deodor Bombs Penetrate chlorine dioxide gas throughout the home. Equipment Needed: N95 mask/respirator, nitrile gloves, warm waterIMPORTANT: Superstratum Deodor Bombs can quickly create ClO2 gas. Before activating the first dry sponge, place all Deodor Bomb kits in their correct location throughout the building. Begin activating the Deodor Bombs from the furthest point of the home, and work backwards moving towards the exit to reduce exposure as much as possible. One person should not activate more than 10 Deodor Bombs. Be sure to have enough water available to activate all dry sponges before you begin. If you experience lightheadedness, or difficulty breathing during or after treatment, seek medical attention immediately. Assemble a pitcher of warm water, and put on your personal protective equipment. Remove all contents from the Deodor Bomb plastic clamshell container.
 Wearing your N95 mask and nitrile gloves, gently pour water into all the clamshell containers to the top of the indicated fill line. Do not overfill the containers. Remove the dry sponge from the foil wrapper, and place the dry sponge BLUE side down into the water. The sponge will begin to expand and activate. Do not pour excess water on top of the sponge. Within minutes the sponge will begin to generate a calculated amount of chlorine dioxide gas.
 Remember chlorine dioxide gas is extremely dangerous if it is inhaled. Be sure to wear your mask at all times when activating the Deodor Bombs.
Exit and lock up the confined space after you activate the Deodor Bombs! Ensure the warning placard is taped to the exterior door to ensure no one enters the containment zone or disturbs the Deodor Bomb treatment.
Allow the gas to envelope the home and all the contents inside for 12 undisturbed hours. You may wait more than 12 hours before returning to the area; however, this will not affect the performance of the Deodor Bombs. Step 6: Air Out Deodor Bomb Gas Clear out residual chlorine dioxide gas safely. Equipment Needed: Masks, gloves, fans, air purifiers Put on an N95 Mask or PD-100 full face respirator gas mask, and Nitrile Gloves, and reenter the home. Close plastic containers with liquid and sponge packets inside. The remaining yellow liquid is an oxidizer; therefore, do not spill as bleaching may occur. Dispose of plastic holder and contents in an outdoor refuse container or outdoor composter. The sponge is biodegradable, and the plastic container is #3 plastic and recyclable. The plastic container may be rinsed and reused. 
Open all exterior doors and windows to allow rooms to air out. Depending on the size of the home, air out may take a few hours. You can reduce the air out time needed by using fans, air purifiers, and dehumidifiers to remove the chlorine dioxide gas and odor from the home. You may turn on the HVAC system and install new air filters at this time. After the air out is complete, you may notice a residual chlorine dioxide odor. Some homes may require up to a few days for the residual chlorine dioxide odor to completely dissipate.
IMPORTANT: If you feel nauseous, experience headaches, or feel any sensitivity to the residual chlorine dioxide odor, exit the home, and continue the air out until the odor has completely dissipated.
*After the gas treatment, you may notice a residual salt film on your home's surfaces. This is completely normal. Our Building Cleaner and Deodor Bombs do not leave behind any toxic residue, only harmless salt. To remove visible salt films, wipe surfaces with a dry microfiber cloth. You may also apply more Building Cleaner directly to surfaces to loosen the salt’s adhesion and wipe if desired. This step is completely optional.* Step 7: Coat Surfaces with Superstratum Endurance Coating Apply Endurance Coating to resist future mold and mildew growth. Equipment Needed: Spray bottle or sprayer, UV light indicator (optional) Depending on the size of the surface area you will coat, use a handheld spray bottle, a pump garden sprayer, or even an airless sprayer to apply. To begin, shake the Endurance Coating for 10 - 20 seconds. Apply a light mist to desired surfaces around the home. As you spray, create a light coat on the surface so that it is damp, but there should be no dripping or running as this will leave unprotected streaks on the surface. Allow the surface to air dry, and do not wipe. You may shine a UV light indicator over the surface to ensure desired coverage is achieved. The coating will appear speckled.
 Superstratum Endurance Coating is an invisible, breathable, and water resistant dry film that contains preservatives to prevent the growth of mold and mildew on its coating’s surface through 100s of wet and dry cycles. This coating’s protection can last up to 10 weeks in high traffic moisture areas, 2 years in low traffic moisture areas, and 10 years in undisturbed moisture areas.
 Superstratum Endurance Coating may be used on virtually any surface, indoor and outdoor; however, it is not recommended on glass or varnished surfaces. Apply the coating to all moisture-exposed and previously contaminated areas prone to collecting dust. It is safe to use on wood, brick, stone, concrete, siding, outdoor furniture, etc. Ideal locations inside the home include, but are not limited to attics, crawlspaces, basements, wall cavities, grout lines, caulk, baseboards, new air filters, HVAC systems, ductwork and vents, baseboards, around window frames, back sides of furniture and appliances, plumbing, curtains, etc.
  Coverage Guidelines: 1 gallon of Superstratum Endurance Coating covers approximately 600 square feet. You can use the Whole Home System Order Wizard to easily calculate the amount of Superstratum Endurance Coating needed. Need Help? Still have questions?

HE-HOCl: The Advanced Chemistry Behind Destroying Mycotoxins

HE-HOCl: The Advanced Chemistry Behind Destroying Mycotoxins

  Most mold cleaning products only treat the surface. But what lingers after remediation is often more dangerous than the mold itself: mycotoxins—toxic metabolic byproducts that can trigger chronic illness and are notoriously difficult to remove. At Superstratum, we’ve developed a solution to go deeper. HE-HOCl (Hypotonic Electrolytic Hypochlorous Acid) is a next-generation oxidizer designed to do what others can’t: break apart the chemical structure of mycotoxins and render them inert. What Is HE-HOCl? HOCl is a molecule naturally produced by white blood cells to fight pathogens. While commercial products attempt to replicate it, most fall short—compromising performance with acidity or high salt content in order to extend shelf life. HE-HOCl is different. Created through a proprietary electrolysis process, it delivers a pure, stabilized solution with: Neutral pH (6.5–7.0) Low, controlled oxidation-reduction potential (ORP) Ultra-low total dissolved solids (TDS), just 2–4 parts per thousand Why pH, TDS, and ORP Matter—And Where Others Fall Short To prolong shelf life, most HOCl products are acidified (pH 3.5–5) or artificially buffered. But acidity shifts HOCl into weaker chemical forms, reducing its oxidative power—especially against complex toxins like mycotoxins. High-ORP HOCl (above 800 mV) presents the opposite problem: it’s too reactive. It breaks down quickly and reacts indiscriminately—often neutralizing itself on contact with surfaces, salts, or even your skin. HE-HOCl strikes the ideal balance: Neutral pH ensures optimal chemical activity Low but effective ORP allows targeted oxidation without collateral damage Ultra-low TDS prevents premature degradation or reversion to salt water Understanding ORP: Precision vs. Power Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) measures a solution’s ability to donate or steal electrons. High ORP = Blowtorch – aggressive and indiscriminate Low ORP = Laser scalpel – controlled and targeted Mycotoxins require a precise strike. Too little oxidation, and the bonds don’t break. Too much, and you risk damaging materials or causing inflammatory reactions. HE-HOCl is formulated with the exact ORP window needed to break these bonds safely and effectively. HE-HOCl vs. Standard HOCl – Side-by-Side Feature HE-HOCl (Superstratum) Standard HOCl pH Level Neutral (6.5–7.0) Acidic (3.5–5.5) ORP Low & controlled High & unstable TDS 2–4 ppt Often much higher Targeted Oxidation Yes – breaks unsaturated bonds No – reacts indiscriminately Stability High – minimal degradation Dependent on acidity Safety Profile Non-irritating, non-corrosive Can irritate or corrode Mycotoxin Destruction Lab-verified Not verified Residue Evaporates cleanly May leave acidic residue How HE-HOCl Works at the Molecular Level Mycotoxins aren’t living—they’re chemical compounds. Built from unsaturated carbon bonds, they resist breakdown and can cling to surfaces or remain airborne for years. HE-HOCl neutralizes these toxins by donating a single electron to their bonds. This disrupts the molecular structure of the toxin and renders it biologically inactive. Third-Party Testing: Verified Mycotoxin Neutralization To validate its effectiveness, Superstratum submitted HE-HOCl (Superstratum Building Cleaner) for testing by Real-Time Laboratories and Wonder Makers Environmental. Test panels were treated after intentional contamination with four common indoor mycotoxins: Gliotoxin Trichothecenes (Group D) Ochratoxin A Zearalenone Results: 100% removal of Gliotoxin, Ochratoxin A, and Zearalenone 77–81% reduction in Trichothecenes 94–95% overall mycotoxin reduction This isn’t just cleaning. This is molecular disarmament. HE-HOCl is Part of the Superstratum Whole Home System HE-HOCl is the first step in Superstratum’s Whole Home System—a complete cleaning and detoxification protocol designed to eliminate the mycotoxins in your home. 1. Clean with HE-HOCl Fog and wipe surfaces, belongings, and HVAC systems with HE-HOCl to neutralize mycotoxins at the molecular level. Safe for skin, surfaces, and soft goods Effective on walls, furniture, fabrics, vents, and electronics Targets dust-bound and surface-level mycotoxins directly 2. Gas with Deodor Bombs Deploy chlorine dioxide gas to reach deep into structural cavities where fogging and wiping can’t go. Penetrates walls, ductwork, crawlspaces, and attics Reaches hidden contamination zones Purifies air and surfaces in every corner of your space 3. Coat with Endurance Coating Coat high-risk areas with an invisible, water-resistant barrier that actively resists mold growth for up to 10 years. Works on drywall, tile, wood, concrete, and more Ideal for bathrooms, kitchens, basements, and laundry rooms Resists mold in any condition Final Takeaway: You can’t kill mycotoxins—they aren’t alive. You have to destroy their chemical structure.HE-HOCl is one of the only solutions proven to do that.

Superstratum White Paper – A Lab Proven Solution for Mycotoxins In Your Home

Superstratum White Paper – A Lab Proven Solution for Mycotoxins In Your Home

The following is a revised white paper that was initially developed by Wonder Makers Environmental. It describes mycotoxins and discusses the efficacy of a Superstratum product in eliminating those poisons; which are left behind by mold growth. The revisions reflect the recent re-branding of various Superstratum products. At Superstratum, we believe third-party lab data and analysis are essential for building trust and delivering effective solutions to our sensitized customers. Interested readers should contact Superstratum at (855-502-8119) if they have any questions regarding the white paper or the application of Superstratum products.   Understanding And Dealing With Mycotoxins Abstract Mycotoxins are the name given to a large number of chemicals produced by mold as a means of protecting the colony from competing organisms. This paper describes how one chemical technology company became interested in mycotoxin research and solutions due to their wide-ranging impacts on human health. This white paper describes: the chemistry of mycotoxins that make them so difficult to remove with standard mold remediation and cleaning techniques, a summary of some of the most significant health impacts of mycotoxins, advances in testing techniques to identify the hazardous chemicals, and the importance of a separate process to remove mycotoxins after mold remediation. The paper then offers test results displaying the efficacy of Superstratum Hypochlorous Acid Pro Cleaner (now sold as Superstratum Building Cleaner) against mycotoxins. The laboratory results are followed by a recommendation for a cleaning protocol that addresses mycotoxin contamination.   Introduction The interest in mycotoxins is growing rapidly, especially since mycotoxin contamination has been identified in a large percentage of water damaged and mold impacted buildings.1, 2 The interest of the Superstratum team in understanding the role that mycotoxins play in occupant health was based on both commercial and personal motivations. The commercial opportunity arose from being able to offer the first tested and validated solution for properly addressing mycotoxins to the market. The personal interest grew as a result of the personal experiences of Superstratum’s founder with mycotoxins; including family histories with chronic illnesses. As the company delved deep into research of the health impacts of mycotoxins, the pattern became increasingly clear - individuals with a history of compounding chronic illnesses most all had one thing in common, a history of exposure to environments with mold and mycotoxins. Unfortunately, the experience of the founder of Superstratum was that the majority of the family’s experience with doctors within centralized medicine failed to diagnose this mold/mycotoxin connection as an underlying cause. Both family members, and other patients, often came to these conclusions from their own research before being accurately diagnosed and begin the healing process.3 For instance, a significant amount of research around cystic fibrosis, a disease that impacted one of the team member’s 3 siblings, indicated that fungal infections of the lungs were a major contributing factor.4 These life experiences keyed additional interest in solutions for efficiently resolving sick building situations. The company was launched upon the discovery of the technology that would become the Superstratum Smart Polymer Coating (now sold as Superstratum Endurance Coating). Given the company’s background, Superstratum began trying to solve mold issues from a perspective that was focused on health and chemistry. This effort led to a surprising revelation; mold was not necessarily the primary trigger for the compounding health issues, it was the mycotoxins created and left behind by mold. Mycotoxin danger is widely known in the food industry.5 The scientific literature showed that these toxins can enter the body through ingestion and skin absorption,6 but little research looked at the inhalation of mycotoxins as a possible route of hazardous exposure. As the technology related to the sampling of mycotoxins in the environment improved, the recognition of their connection to ill health has increased as well.7 Several commercial laboratories8 now offer mycotoxin testing for environmental surface samples; and even air samples. Such samples support the biological tests for mycotoxins within the body through urine or blood tests which have been available for over a decade.9   Health Effects Associated With Mycotoxins As noted in the previous section, health effects associated with mycotoxin exposure have been studied for over 100 years. The majority of this effort was focused on mycotoxins that were ingested as a result of eating mold contaminated food. In addition to the overall poisonous effects of the mycotoxins, organizations as diverse as the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) have recognized that exposure to these mold byproducts can cause a wider range of short-term and long-term effects. For example, the mycotoxins fact sheet provided by the WHO states10: Mycotoxins can cause a variety of adverse health effects and pose a serious health threat to both humans and livestock. The adverse health effects of mycotoxins range from acute poisoning to long-term effects such as immune deficiency and cancer.   The number of possible health effects on people who are exposed to mycotoxins is substantial. In 2019, an article in the journal Toxicological Research provided a table with specific types of mycotoxins and the health effects that have been attributed to each particular substance through peer-reviewed evaluations.11 Mycotoxin Health effect Aflatoxins Hepatotoxic and immunosuppressive Ochratoxin A Carcinogenic, genotoxic, immunosuppressive, nephrotoxic and induction of upper urinary tract disease Fumonisins Carcinogenic, hepatotoxic, nephrotoxic, immunosuppressive Deoxynivalenol Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, reproductive effects and toxicosis Trichothecenes Hepatotoxic, genotoxic, and immunosuppressive Zearalenone Carcinogenic, hormonal imbalance, and reproductive effects Patulin Neurologic and gastrointestinal In addition to the liver, kidney, bladder, and gut issues pointed out in the above table, the fact that mycotoxins can lead to cancer and a weakening of the overall immune system means that mycotoxin exposure can create a base toxic overload which can make other health problems more serious. Indeed, the number of specific neurological issues connected with mycotoxin exposure include severe headaches, eye pain, vertigo, tremors, difficulties with memory, cognitive issues, depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorders. Further research has connected mycotoxin exposure with a wide range of conditions including chronic fatigue syndrome12, fibromyalgia, Alpha-gal Syndrome (a condition where individuals become allergic to consuming red meat after a tick bite or other toxic exposures), Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS - a condition where too little blood moves back to heart when a person moves from a prone to a standing position)13, and multiple sclerosis14. Many of the more severe health problems associated with mycotoxins may only be experienced by a portion of the population. This variation was as frustrating as it was puzzling until advances in understanding the genetic make-up of people provided a better explanation of the overall process of ill health that led to a wide variety of symptoms. As the medical understanding advanced, the primary points were summarized into layperson language and even shared in restoration industry trade journals15: As the understanding of the medical aspects of mold sensitized individuals grows, it is becoming clear that a small, but substantial, percentage of the population have a genetic structure that does not allow them to break down mycotoxins in their system as efficiently as most people. In some of the more severe cases, hardly any of the mycotoxins are broken down by the person’s immune system. This leads to a buildup of these poisonous chemicals in their blood and body systems. The poisons themselves, and their body’s ineffective attempts to remove them, results in a number of illnesses.   The Fungal Connection: Mycotoxins As A Component Of Mold As mold grows, the organism completes a number of chemical reactions to support life. This chemical process, at the cellular level, is what is called the metabolism of the mold. The primary purpose of mold metabolism is to convert food into energy and the building blocks for physical expansion of the colony. Anything created by the mold’s chemical process that is not energy or a part of a growth structure is known as a secondary metabolite. Since mycotoxins are chemicals produced by many types of mold as a defense mechanism to protect the colony, they fit the classification as a secondary part of the metabolic process. Currently, over 500 different types of mycotoxins have been identified.16 Many factors influence the production of mycotoxins. The most important consideration is the type of mold that is growing. It has also been shown that the same mold species can produce different mycotoxins depending on the specific circumstances surrounding the growth of the mold colony. Some critical environmental conditions that impact mycotoxin production include temperature, surface moisture, relative humidity, and availability of nutrients. In general, mycotoxins are produced by molds growing on wet surfaces with elevated temperatures and high humidity. Since mycotoxin production is an essential defense mechanism for mold, the poisons may not be produced if there is no bacterial or fungal competitor for the nutrients where the mold is growing. One group of researchers were quite definitive when they stated: Bacterial-fungal interactions influence mycotoxin production in addition to environmental factors.17 In essence, the greater the threat to the mold colony from competing organisms, the more likely that those molds that have the ability to chemically create poisons will do so.   Mycotoxins Are Interesting Chemicals The biological process of mold growth results in the production of a number of different types of chemicals from the organism. The secondary metabolites, which are non-volatile (i.e., do not easily evaporate at room temperature), have a low molecular weight, and cause harm to people or animals are classified as mycotoxins.18 Though the mycotoxins are recognized as non-volatile, many are easily aerosolized when moving air passes over a fungal surface. In addition to protecting the mold colony from competing microorganisms, mycotoxins are thought to assist some parasitic molds in invading the tissue of a host.19 Although the chemical reactions happen inside the mold, the mycotoxins are excluded from the spores, hyphae, and mycelium. In other words, the poisons are emitted from many areas of the mold. The released mycotoxins are not easily destroyed, are not broken down by water, and do not absorb water.20 Many of them have a sticky nature21 which allows the mycotoxins to cling to surfaces and airborne particles like dust and spore fragments. This means that they can be left behind even if the mold spores and fragments are removed during a cleaning process. Thus, mycotoxins are able to travel throughout the home in an aerosolized form, often infiltrating and being circulated by HVAC systems. All of the critical properties of mycotoxins make them difficult to remove. The small size of the chemical droplets means that they are difficult to capture without dense filtration. The sticky nature of many of the mycotoxins along with their low molecular weight means that there is not enough mass for them to be separated from a surface by vacuum pressure. Their inability to be dissolved by water limits the effectiveness of many standard cleaning and antimicrobial chemicals. The fact that they do not evaporate in environments with temperatures in the normal living range results in their potential accumulation over time. If mycotoxins do get disturbed by the remediation or cleaning process, they may become aerosolized and migrate long distances before settling and sticking to other surfaces. Identifying How Mycotoxins Migrate From Mold Sources And Impact Health In both the health arena and the mold remediation industry it was suspected for decades that mycotoxins played a significant role in mold related illnesses of occupants in water damaged buildings. The theory was that the inhalation of the mycotoxins was providing a direct pathway into the body systems. It was further speculated that small amounts of mycotoxins could migrate directly from the nasal passage into the brain exacerbating the neurological problems experienced by many occupants in mold contaminated structures. (This direct assault on the brain through mycotoxins migrating through the nose was actually confirmed in animal studies.21) While these speculations made logical sense, they were difficult to prove. As one study22 summarized it: Although a large amount of attention has been placed on the presence of Stachybotrys mycotoxins in the indoor environment, attempts to identify these toxics in the dust usually fail, as do attempts to correlate amounts found on contaminated surfaces with amounts found in dust. Nevertheless, the same research that clarified the difficulties in following the movement of mycotoxins in the environment showed that the mycotoxins migrated as independent small particles or as an attachment to other microscopic materials.23 It was only in the last few years that an emphasis was placed on researching how mycotoxins could migrate, buildup, and then be spread in the environment. This newer research verified some of the earlier speculation about mycotoxins. A fascinating study proved that mycotoxins could be aerosolized from various substrates. Such research even went on to show that the aerosolization rates differed by fungal species. The research proved that it was possible that air speeds typically present in occupied buildings from the HVAC systems, and occupant movement, could aerosolize mycotoxins. It further showed a link between mycotoxin concentrations found on contaminated surfaces and in settled dust.23 Specifically, the study emphasized: Quantification of the toxic content revealed that toxic load was mostly associated with particles of size ≥3 μm When studies showed mycotoxins moving as particles smaller than 3 microns, the reality of deep penetration of the chemicals into the respiratory system,24 as well as impact on the nasal system, was verified. The seriousness of negative impacts on brain health became more obvious as the recognition that mycotoxins penetrate through tissue19, 21 was added to the other findings. Mycotoxin Sampling Procedures Since mycotoxin testing for agriculture and food products has been a priority for decades, a number of different analytical techniques are available to identify, and even quantify, types of mold poisons. Livestock feed processors have had samples tested successfully for mycotoxins using monoclonal antibody isolation chemistry. In that industry, the less-expensive antibody testing has generally supplanted the more sophisticated, but significantly more expensive, techniques that use liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. For the environmental industry, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) techniques have been developed for the identification of certain mycotoxins. While this technique is quicker and cheaper than many others, it must be set up to look for specific types of mycotoxins.25That is why many laboratories serving the mold remediation industry have a specific list of mycotoxins that they can identify. Currently, there is no industry recognized panel of mycotoxins that every lab should be identifying as possible threats to occupant health. This a significant detriment to gaining a better understanding of the extent of mycotoxin contamination as a component of interior mold growth situations. This sampling confusion is further magnified by the efforts to relate biological samples of mycotoxins utilized for diagnosis of health problems with the surface and air samples collected in a person's environment. Although there are concerns with environmental sampling in regards to which mycotoxins to evaluate and how to interpret the data, those problems are minor compared to issues with some biological samples. For example, over the past decade, a number of laboratories have begun offering services to identify mycotoxins in urine samples. However, urine samples for detecting mycotoxins in a person are not even approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for doctors to use in the clinical evaluation of people who may have mycotoxin poisoning. The Center for Disease Control is unambiguous when it states:26 There is no FDA-approved test for mycotoxins in human urine. In cases of suspect mycotoxin poisoning, only blood samples are approved by the FDA for the purpose of clinical diagnosis. Despite these challenges, there is some common-sense utilization that can come from collecting environmental and medical mycotoxins samples. For individuals who have symptoms that are consistent with mycotoxin exposure, a blood or urine test may help pinpoint which mold metabolite is the likely problem. Follow-on air or surface samples looking for those specific mycotoxins can help to rule in, or rule out, whether mycotoxin residue could be contributing to the health issues. As is recognized with lead poisoning27, in the cases where mycotoxins are found inside buildings, the effectiveness of medical interventions to detoxify the impacted individuals can be compromised if the source of the poison has not been removed. It is also critical to understand that testing, by itself, is never the total answer. Even so, utilizing surface tests to determine whether chemicals used in the mold remediation field have a positive impact on mycotoxin removal will be a benefit to the cleaning and restoration industry. Such information would allow contractors and do-it-yourself practitioners to select the appropriate chemistry for the wet cleaning segment of a standard HEPA sandwich cleaning process.28 A Process For Testing Chemicals For Effectiveness In Mycotoxin Removal The Superstratum team had an existing chemical that they believed could be effective in removing mycotoxins from surfaces. As noted previously, the chemical tested, Superstratum Hypochlorous Acid Pro, was re-branded and that same product is now sold as Superstratum Building Cleaner. The new product name will be used from this point forward in this document to reduce confusion; although the original laboratory test results list the tested material by the original Superstratum Hypochlorous Acid Pro name. The Superstratum Building Cleaner* is described and marketed as a cleaner aimed at inanimate chemical contaminants, like mycotoxins, rather than a disinfectant, so no EPA registration is required of the manufacturer or special restrictions or training required by the users. The company engaged Wonder Makers Environmental to investigate the possibility of testing the effectiveness of the cleaner in removing mycotoxins from surfaces. The purpose of this testing was not to generate data for any sort of EPA certifications, but to answer a simple question frequently asked in the mold remediation industry: "Is there a cleaning product that removes mycotoxins from surfaces that are left behind by mold, even after remediation?" In response to the initial discussions, Wonder Makers proposed a "practical science" test designed to determine the efficacy of removing mycotoxins from surfaces. The test protocol was designed to evaluate the effects of two different aspects of the typical cleaning process. Of central importance is whether a chemical destruction of the mycotoxins occurs. Another theory that needed to be evaluated was whether the Superstratum product had an ability to separate the mycotoxins from surfaces so that they can be removed by wiping; which is a common cleaning process used as part of remediation procedures. Overview of the Test Process The test involved Superstratum Building Cleaner* in conformance with the manufacturer’s instructions for restoration efforts. In section IV of the Whole Home System Manual the directions for using the Building Cleaner* are spelled out as: Suppress dust particles and mycotoxins by misting the air or fogging around the area with Superstratum Building Cleaner* (500ppm) Ensure full volumetric coverage of all spaces in the home, floor to ceiling and wall to wall, as well as in crawl spaces and attics. With that background information as a basis for the experiment, the actual testing procedure evaluated the general efficacy of the Superstratum product in removing mycotoxins. The straightforward process involved testing the cleaner on an intentionally contaminated piece of oriented strand board (OSB). OSB was chosen as the surface for the testing because it is a common building material. Another important reason for using OSB for the initial test is that it has an irregular surface because of the various pieces or flakes of wood that are compressed to manufacture the sheathing. This uneven surface profile allows mold and mycotoxins to be partially embedded in the surface and makes the removal of contaminants more difficult. As such, if the Superstratum cleaner works to remove mycotoxins from OSB, its effectiveness can be expected to be even better on smoother surfaces. Since the testing involved the application and disturbance of potentially dangerous mycotoxins, the process had to be completed within the confines of a biosafety level 1 laboratory. Therefore, Wonder Makers contracted with Medical Services Consultation P.A. (MSCPA); working with Real-Time Laboratories as a subcontractor. Following the Wonder Makers’ protocol, the actual testing involved several steps. Wonder Makers prepared three pieces of OSB so they were ready for contamination with mycotoxins and shipped them to MSCPA for preparation and sampling in their level 1 biosafety laboratory. The Superstratum Building Cleaner* product was also provided to MSCPA by Wonder Makers to ensure that the manufacturer was not providing any material that was specially formulated for the test process rather than available for general sale. In addition, Wonder Makers also supplied the hand sprayers and rags to be used during the testing process. Using new materials ensures that there would be no chemical cross-contamination during the testing process. MSCPA representatives were responsible for applying the Superstratum Building Cleaner* according to the label directions. A combination of four different mycotoxins produced by some of the most common indoor mold types were secured and mixed by MSCPA. Although it is unusual to find multiple types of mycotoxins on a single surface, this test approach represented a "worst-case" scenario to evaluate the efficacy of the Superstratum cleaner. Specific Test Process The actual testing involved intentional mycotoxin contamination of three, 4-inch square pieces of OSB. Mycotoxins used for the test included Gliotoxin, Trichothecenes (Group D), Ochratoxin A, and Zeralanone. The mycotoxin mixture was applied in a similar fashion to all three of the boards. Following the application of the mycotoxin mixture, and appropriate dwell time, the first board was sampled as a baseline. Sampling of the OSB contaminated material was done using an Environmental Mold and Mycotoxin Assessment (EMMA) swab from Real-Time Laboratory. This test, using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) techniques for the analysis, confirmed and quantified the presence of all for different types of mycotoxins on the inoculated OSB board. The second OSB board, which also had been contaminated with mycotoxins, was sprayed with the Superstratum Building Cleaner*. A hand sprayer with a coarse spray tip was used to apply the solution. The square was kept damp with the Superstratum solution by repeat spraying as necessary to keep it damp in conformance with the Superstratum instructions. After the manufacturer’s recommended 10-minute dwell time, the contaminated OSB was sampled with another swab which was analyzed by Real-Time Laboratory. A third marked and inoculated OSB board was then sprayed with the Superstratum Building Cleaner*; again using a hand sprayer with a coarse spray tip to apply the solution. On this board, regular agitation of the surface by wiping with a cotton rag dampened with the Superstratum Building Cleaner* was used to keep the square damp for the required 10 minutes. After the designated dwell/wiping time the square was sampled with an EMMA swab and analyzed to confirm the types and the quantity of mycotoxins present by PCR analysis. Results of the Testing As detailed in the following chart, the results of the testing conducted by MSCPA in conjunction with Real-Time Laboratory showed an overall reduction in mycotoxins on the difficult to clean OSB boards of 94% - 95%.  The effectiveness of the Superstratum Building Cleaner* was not uniform for the different types of mycotoxins. Indeed, for three of the different types of mold related poisons that were tested, the cleaner removed 100% of the measurable mycotoxins. It was only the Trichothecenes type of mycotoxins where any residue was left behind after the spray or the spraying and wiping. For that particular mold related contaminant, spraying with the Superstratum Building Cleaner* removed 77% of the mycotoxins. When surface agitation through wiping was evaluated, the percentage of removed mycotoxins improved to 81%.  Superstratum Building Cleaner* Mycotoxin Removal Efficacy Test OSB board and treatment Mycotoxins (parts per billion – ppb) Gliotoxin Trichothecenes Ochratoxin A Zearalenone Contaminated control 5.057 0.891 8.275 1.292 Contaminated and sprayed BMDL 0.205 BMDL BMDL Percent reduction 100% 77% 100% 100% Contaminated and spray/wipe BMDL 0.169 BMDL BMDL Percent reduction 100% 81% 100% 100% BMDL = Below Method Detection Limit, or not present. Addressing Mycotoxin Contamination Is A Process Given the results of this testing, and the fact that reliable air samples which can identify mycotoxins are now available, Superstratum adjusted an existing protocol for mycotoxin cleaning. This revised approach offers a process to their customers that is effective in addressing mycotoxins. While this process can be used as a post cleaning for all mold remediation projects, it is critical that it be employed for situations where mold sensitized occupants are present. Obviously, it should always be used for individuals who have been diagnosed with mycotoxins in their system. Although the mycotoxin removal protocol utilizes the Superstratum Building Cleaner*, as one of the main components of the eradication of the poisons, it also incorporates additional steps. This “belt and suspenders” approach is justified by the significant health effects that can result from mycotoxin exposure and the recent research that confirms how difficult it is to remove the mold metabolites. Some redundancy is also required in order for the process to be in conformance with the current standard of care for the mold remediation industry29. Before the mycotoxin cleaning begins, all mold sources should be remediated with appropriate engineering controls in place, including but not limited to: isolation barriers, decontamination chamber, and HEPA filtered air mover to create negative pressure exhausted to the outdoors. Successful post remediation project testing should be conducted to confirm the effectiveness of removal of mold source material. Specifically, the Superstratum Whole Home System includes:Step 1 : Pre-fog with Superstratum Building Cleaner The chemical is safe to apply around people, pets, and plants. Material is applied with a ULV cold fogger or sprayer. Step 2 : Microclean with Superstratum Building Cleaner Use non-woven, microfiber disposable wipes to wipe surfaces dry and remove dust. Step 3 : Prepare for Superstratum Deodor Bomb Treatment Calculate the cubic footage of space in each room to be treated. Determine the Deodor Bomb quantity and packet size required for each room. Remove all people, plants, and pets. Step 4: Re-fog with Superstratum Building Cleaner Optimal conditions for Deodor Bomb treatment are 70°F and 70% relative humidity. Re-fog the home with Superstratum Building Cleaner until desired humidity levels are achieved. Step 5: Gas with Superstratum Deodor Bombs Begin activating the Superstratum Deodor Bombs from the furthest point of the home, and work backwards moving towards the exit to reduce exposure as much as possible. Step 6: Air out Superstratum Deodor Bomb Gas Open all doors and windows to allow rooms to air out. Depending on the size of the home, air out may take a few hours. Step 7: Coat with Superstratum Endurance Coating Apply the Superstratum Endurance Coating to all moisture-exposed and previously contaminated areas prone to collecting dust. Conclusion The environmental remediation industry continues to advance as both medical professionals and contractors see the strong connection between treating a person for illness mitigation and treating a structure that the person occupies for contamination control. As the understanding of the role mycotoxins play in the negative health outcomes of mold sensitized occupants grows, so does the emphasis on finding effective testing and cleaning approaches for mycotoxins. The recent advances in testing for mycotoxins in the air and on surfaces is now allowing mold remediation chemicals and work practices to be specifically evaluated for their effectiveness in addressing those naturally produced poisons. The Superstratum Whole Home System utilizes a number of strategies for removing the hazardous mold byproducts, including the proven results from applying their Superstratum Building Cleaner* product.   Michael Pinto CSP(Ret.), CMP, ERS, FLS,CTPE CEO, Wonder Makers Environmental   Endnotes *Superstratum Building Cleaner is the re-branded Superstratum Hypochlorous Acid Pro that was tested for this document.
