Particulate & Mycotoxin Cleaning
Fine Particulate & Mycotoxin Cleaning in Dallas, TX
Even after you’ve removed mold colonies or addressed smoke damage, dangerous particles and mycotoxins can linger in the air and on surfaces potentially affecting your health long after the visible damage is gone. At Gentlemen’s Restoration, our Fine Particulate & Mycotoxin Cleaning service targets these invisible threats using a thorough, multi-step approach.
While advanced tools like ULV (Ultra-Low Volume) fogging, thermal treatments, electrostatic spraying, and hypochlorous acid solutions are powerful parts of our process, fogging alone is never enough to fully eliminate contamination. To truly remediate these hazards, we also perform a detailed surface wipe-down using microfiber cloths to physically remove residue that fogging may loosen but not eliminate. This hands-on cleaning is essential for removing particles that settle on framing, walls, and other surfaces.
We combine this with both HEPA and ULPA (Ultra-Low Penetration Air) filtration systems, which capture ultra-fine airborne contaminants that standard filters leave behind. By pairing these physical and technical methods, we ensure your environment is not just treated but genuinely clean, safe, and compliant with professional remediation standards.
Why Mycotoxin & Fine Particulate Removal Is Crucial
The Hidden Hazards of Mycotoxins
Some types of mold produce mycotoxins, toxic substances that can persist even after visible mold is gone. These invisible compounds may cause respiratory issues, skin irritation, or more serious health concerns, especially in individuals with compromised immune systems. Mycotoxins can spread through HVAC systems, clinging to surfaces and embedding themselves in carpets, upholstery, and even behind walls.
- Hard-to-Detect Contaminants: Mycotoxins don’t have a distinctive smell, making them difficult to notice until symptoms arise.
- Health Risks: Chronic exposure can aggravate allergies, intensify breathing difficulties, and contribute to fatigue or sinus problems.
Key Point: Eliminating mold growth isn’t always enough mycotoxins require targeted removal strategies to fully protect your living space.
Fine Particulate Challenges
Beyond mycotoxins, ultra-fine particles (like residual soot, dander, and chemical residues) can remain in the air, compromising overall air quality. Regular vacuuming and common household cleaners aren’t designed to capture contaminants at the micron or sub-micron level. Over time, these particles accumulate in ductwork, on surfaces, and within fabrics—continuing to circulate whenever air flows.
- Lingering Odors & Respiratory Irritants: Fine particles can embed in soft materials, contributing to chronic unpleasant smells or breathing difficulties.
- Systemic Spread: HVAC systems can recirculate ultra-fine debris, increasing exposure throughout the property.
Key Point: A specialized approach using ULPA filters and advanced fogging ensures these minuscule threats are removed rather than just displaced.
Deeper Insight: Protecting Your Space Long-Term
A single cleaning service can’t guarantee a permanent ban on mycotoxins or ultra-fine pollutants, especially if underlying conditions like unchecked humidity or ventilation issues persist. We advise regular inspections, periodic filter changes, and proactive moisture control to keep contaminants at bay. By combining advanced filtration (using ULPA filters) with periodic ULV fogging or thermal treatments, you set up a powerful defense against future microbial or particulate threats.
Key Advantage: Ongoing maintenance not only boosts your indoor air quality but can also prolong the life of your HVAC system, reduce odors, and help you quickly address any emerging signs of mold or secondary contamination.
Our Advanced Cleaning Process
At Gentlemen’s Restoration, we don’t believe in shortcuts especially when it comes to your health. While fogging and filtration are powerful tools, they’re just part of the process. We follow the standards set forth by the IICRC S500 and TDLR TMARR to ensure every cleaning step is thorough, effective, and compliant with professional guidelines.
Here’s what our process looks like:
We begin each project with a visual inspection to identify surface-level contamination, visible residue, and known exposure zones. If the cleaning is related to smoke damage, environmental pollutants, or general air quality concerns, we proceed with our standard filtration and fine particulate removal plan based on what’s found.
If the service is part of a mold remediation project regulated by the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR), we will follow the scope outlined in the Remediation Protocol provided by a licensed Mold Assessment Consultant. In those cases, our role begins only after that licensed inspection is complete.
🔎 Gentlemen’s Restoration does not perform particle sampling, lab analysis, or mold assessment services. We work in partnership with licensed mold assessment companies where required.
We use both HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) and ULPA (Ultra-Low Penetration Air) filtration systems to remove airborne particulates during and after cleaning. HEPA filters are ideal for capturing mold spores, fine dust, and smoke residue in most settings. For sensitive environments or extreme contamination, ULPA filters provide an extra level of protection—removing particles down to 0.12 microns. We also establish negative air pressure containment zones when necessary to prevent cross-contamination between rooms.
Following fogging, we conduct a manual wipe-down of all surfaces using microfiber cloths and HEPA-vacuum-assisted tools. This step is critical for physically removing loosened particles, settled spores, and mycotoxins from hard surfaces. We apply safe, EPA-registered cleaning solutions, including hypochlorous acid, to neutralize contaminants without introducing harsh chemical odors or residue.
Using a combination of ULV (Ultra-Low Volume) foggers, thermal fogging units, and electrostatic sprayers, we disperse fine mists of disinfectants and neutralizers throughout affected areas. These techniques reach behind walls, into soft materials, and around fixtures where manual cleaning might miss.
⚠️ Important Note: Any company that claims fogging alone can remove mold or mycotoxins isn’t being honest. These methods support the process—but they don’t replace the need for physical removal and surface cleaning.
After the filtration and decontamination process is complete, our team performs a final visual inspection to ensure all treated surfaces are clean, dry, and free from visible debris or residue.
For mold-related projects, we then coordinate with the original Mold Assessment Consultant to complete the required Post-Remediation Verification (PRV). If the cleaning was for smoke damage or general indoor air quality concerns, this visual inspection serves as the final step, and no third-party clearance is required.
✅ We always follow best practices in accordance with IICRC S500/S520 guidelines and TDLR TMARR where applicable.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Frequently Asked Questions About Fine Particulate Cleaning
Yes. Mold remediation primarily removes visible colonies, but mycotoxins and residual spores can remain in the air or settle into porous materials. Fine Particulate Cleaning targets those microscopic elements that standard remediation processes might miss.
Hypochlorous acid is recognized as safe and effective for disinfecting surfaces and neutralizing various contaminants when used correctly. We ensure proper ventilation and follow recommended dwell times, so your home or workspace is both clean and free from harsh chemical residues afterward.
Absolutely. ULV dry fogging allows cleaning agents to penetrate deep into fabrics, cracks, and other hidden zones where odors originate. Coupled with thermal fogging for extra heat activation, this approach is highly effective at neutralizing persistent smoke or musty smells.
Frequency depends on factors like recent mold or fire incidents, indoor air quality goals, and occupant health sensitivities. Some homeowners choose an annual or biannual fine particulate treatment to maintain top-tier air quality, while others schedule it only after specific contamination concerns arise.
Many steps such as electrostatic spraying with disinfectants are also potent against bacteria and viruses. Our focus here is on mycotoxins and ultra-fine pollutants, but the cleaning protocols often overlap with biohazard or viral sanitation measures, providing broader protection for your space.
