Question 1

I'm having Fresno Pure Maintenance treat my home — what do I need to do to prepare?

Accepted Answer

Very little. Open interior doors, cabinets, and closets so the fog can circulate. Turn off any air purifiers. We'll handle setting up the equipment, sealing the work area, and shutting down your HVAC for the treatment.

Question 2

Do I need to take paintings, photos, or wall art down before treatment?

Accepted Answer

No. The dry fog doesn't stain, run, or leave residue. Photos, paintings, mirrors, and decor can all stay in place.

Question 3

What about fruit or food left out on the counter?

Accepted Answer

We recommend putting fresh fruit, baked goods, and uncovered food into the fridge or a sealed container — not because the treatment is dangerous, but because it's good practice. Packaged and refrigerated food is fine as-is.

Question 4

How long before I can re-enter my home?

Accepted Answer

Most Fresno and Clovis treatments wrap inside a single day. After the treatment and a short clearance ventilation period, you can typically re-enter the same evening. We'll give you a specific re-entry time before we start.

Question 5

Is the treatment safe?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The sterilant we use is professional-grade and breaks down into water and oxygen — no harsh residue, no lingering odor. Occupants and pets simply leave during the active treatment and dwell time. Many of our customers are families with young kids or someone in the home with respiratory sensitivities; safety is exactly why they call us.

Question 6

Do I need to get everything out of the house?

Accepted Answer

No. The treatment is designed to work in place. Furniture, electronics, books, soft goods, and clothing all stay — and all get treated. That's a major reason this process exists.

Question 7

Will the fog get behind my walls?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The 7-micron particle size lets the dry fog move like a gas — through outlets, switch plates, vents, and small gaps. That's the entire point: it treats the cavities a wipe or scrub can't reach.

Question 8

Will I need to clean everything after the treatment?

Accepted Answer

No. The sterilant breaks down without residue, so there's nothing to wipe off. Some clients like to wipe high-touch surfaces out of habit; it isn't necessary.

Question 9

Does the treatment affect bugs?

Accepted Answer

No — it's a mold and microbial sterilant, not an insecticide. If you're dealing with pests, you'll want a separate pest-control specialist.

Question 10

What will the mold look like after the treatment?

Accepted Answer

Treatment sanitizes the mold but doesn't make stains disappear. Discoloration on drywall, grout, or wood may still be visible — it's now inert. If cosmetic restoration matters, we can recommend a painter or finish carpenter.

Question 11

How long does the treatment last?

Accepted Answer

Treatment results last indefinitely as long as the original moisture problem is solved. The protective second-stage fog leaves an antimicrobial barrier on treated surfaces that resists regrowth. Bring water back into the home — through a new leak, flood, or chronic humidity — and you can re-grow mold the same as anyone else.

Question 12

How will I know if the treatment worked?

Accepted Answer

Independent post-treatment air sampling. We don't grade our own work — a third-party lab compares your indoor air to outdoor baseline and we share the results in writing. Every job, every time.
