BioBalance Haven product line — citrus-based mold treatment solutions Mold Treatment Guide

Isolated mold treatment — when mold is confined to a few rooms or specific areas of the home

Isolated Mold Treatment

HavenFog is intended as a one-time treatment. Additional treatment may be needed if a significant mold problem has not yet been remediated or after another water event. Use HavenMist for continued maintenance.

Add water to 16 oz. of HavenMist solution to make one gallon (128 oz.) of finished mixture. This 1:8 dilution means one part concentrate in eight parts finished mixture.

People and pets may remain in the area throughout HavenMist misting. After misting, we recommend small particle cleanup by wiping or HEPA vacuuming. Cleanup may begin immediately after misting or at any later time.

When mold is confined to a few rooms or areas, misting will reduce mold and keep it under control. Each HavenMist Kit includes HavenMist, a HavenMister, and plates for testing before and after your treatment.

This treatment protocol was developed by Jeff Bookout (CMI, CMRC, AHERA Inspector — 20+ years, 4,000+ mold assessments, President of BioBalance and AirWell) and JW Biava (CMI, CMRC, ISEAI Board Member — 100,000+ inspections, CEO of BioBalance and CitriSafe). HavenMist™ was formulated by Walter Hayhurst, RPh, founder of Professional Compounding Centers of America (PCCA), using grapefruit, tangerine, lemon, and lime seed extracts — all FDA GRAS-designated with an MSDS of all zeros for harmful chemicals.

How long does it take to see results after misting?

Wait at least 3 days after treatment before retesting with mold plates. Compare your post-treatment sample to your pre-treatment baseline and to the ImmunoLytics health scale to confirm success.
