Fogging does not work—at least not in the way many people think it does when it comes to mold remediation. Traditional fogging, often called “wet fogging,” is basically like using a giant spray bottle. It sprays a fine mist of liquid into the air, which settles onto surfaces and temporarily pulls mold spores out of the air. Sounds helpful, right? Not really.
Here’s the problem: that mist doesn’t actually kill the mold. It doesn’t reach into porous surfaces like drywall, wood, or insulation where mold roots live and thrive. All it really does is push spores around and give you the illusion of a clean space. In fact, many companies who use this method call it a “microbial wipe-down” because that’s all it truly is—a surface-level solution.
Within just a few days, the mold spores begin to come back. The source hasn’t been removed, the roots are still intact, and your indoor air quality is still at risk.
Now, some people hear about dry fogging and think it’s a better option—and in some ways, it is. Dry fogging uses smaller particles and doesn’t drench surfaces like wet fogging does. It can penetrate a little deeper, even into wall cavities. But still, it doesn’t go far enough.
That’s where Smart Nano Purification comes in. This process goes two steps beyond traditional fogging. Instead of spraying a mist, the solution is instantly converted into a gas using specialized equipment. The gas penetrates everywhere—into cracks, under floors, inside walls—without making anything wet or leaving a residue. And best of all, it actually eliminates mold spores, viruses, and bacteria at the root level.
So yes, fogging does not work if you’re looking for a real, lasting solution. But Nano Purifying? That’s mold remediation done right. Learn more about how we do it on our Handling Mold Problems page—no demolition, no damage, just real results.
