Desiccant Packets
During the process of mold remediation, you will need to do what’s called a “Small Particle Cleaning” of your belongings.
That means you will be doing a very specific process of deep cleaning every item you own to remove all remaining mold spores, fragments, and mycotoxins that settled on that item over time. This goes for clothes and other fabrics that can go in the washing machine, solid wood, glass, metal, and plastic items.
Once something has been cleaned, you want to put it in air-tight plastic bins right away to keep it from getting recontaminated while your remediation finishes or while you figure out moving to a mold-safe home. Before sealing up a bin, it’s best to put one or a few of these desiccant packets in the bin to make sure no moisture builds up inside.
Some people will put certain items in storage that cannot be decontaminated while they finish healing, and then come back to see if they can tolerate the items once they are well again. This keeps those items from recontaminating other things while they’re in storage. I would add these desiccant packets to all of those bins as well.
