Step 6: Air Out
The sixth step of the Whole Home Detox is designed to clear out the chlorine dioxide gas from the home so you may safely reenter.
Product applied in this step
You don’t need any product this step, just fresh air. Don’t forget to put on your PPEs to reenter your home.
Attention
Put on your PPEs to reenter your home.
Equipment needed in this step
Dispose used Deodor Bombs
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.
Air out
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.
Opening windows and doors is optional if you need to get back into the home immediately. You may leave closed after removal of delivery systems if odor is acceptable.
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.
Attention
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.
Read the manual carefully and make sure you have all the necessary equipment and products on hand. For best results—and to ensure your safety and protect sensitive items—the process takes a full day, so plan ahead.
