Frequently Asked Questions

General information

What is Mold Wizard?

Mold Wizard is an innovative app that uses sound wave vibrations to eliminate mold and mycotoxins from buildings, items and indoor environments. Mold Wizard is non-toxic, and eco friendly.

How does Mold Wizard work?

The mobile app runs a playlist of specific sound wave vibrations that disrupt mold growth and reduce or eliminate mycotoxins without the need for toxic chemicals.

Can I use Mold Wizard in a room with electronic devices?

Yes, these audio range vibrations do not interfere with electronic devices.

What items may contaminate my home, after remediation?

Following mold remediation and completing the Mold Wizard process, we recommend toning any items that may be mold contaminated, in your garage or basement, before bringing them into your house. Items may include: Antiques and yard sale or second hand items, gym equipment, holiday decorations that have been stored in basements or sheds, and construction, repair or remodeling tools and equipment, and uniforms.

Will Mold Wizard kill mold behind walls and under floors?

Mold Wizard kills many kinds of molds and eliminates mycotoxins under floors, behind walls, and anywhere that sound can reach. It is not intended as a remediation device for large mold colonies, or for wet or heavily mold damaged materials.

Do I have to tear out mold or water damaged drywall or building materials?

Mold Wizard is intended to reduce or eliminate residual mold and mycotoxin spores in an indoor environment, after it has been has been fully remediated. Mold Wizard is not designed to fully eliminate heavy mold contamination in damaged materials, but can help eliminate residual spores after remediation.

What is the difference between molds and mycotoxins?

Molds are many fungal species that are capable of reproducing. Mycotoxins, also referred to as endotoxins, are neurotoxic chemicals produced by molds, as a self defense. Molds produce higher levels of mycotoxins as they die.

what molds does Mold Wizard reduce or eliminate?

Mold Wizard helps to reduce or eliminate many types of mold yeast, fungus and mildew, including Aspergillus, Chaetomium, Cladosporium, Memnoniella, Myxomycete, Peethambara, Penicillium, Rhizobium, Stachybotyrys, and Wallemia, in a structurally remediated environment.

Is Mold Wizard safe for my fish tank?

We have observed only healthy and beneficial outcomes for fish and fish tanks, following use of Mold Wizard programs. Water may become cleaner and clearer with use of MW6. However we can not guarantee the safety of this program for all fish and tanks, under all circumstances.

can I use mold wizard for my outdoor pond?

We have observed only healthy and beneficial outcomes for outdoor ponds, with a reduction in algae and cyanobacteria. Water may become cleaner and clearer with use of Mold Wizard. However, we can not guarantee the safety of this program for all pond creatures, under all circumstances.

Does Mold Wizard remove and remediate rodent infestations?

No, Mold Wizard is not designed to deter rodents, or to eliminate mold growth propagated by their nests and feces. Significant rodent populations must be professionally eliminated, and feces removed and cleaned from insulation, crawl spaces and duct work. However Mold Wizard does promote a more healthy environment by removing mold and mycotoxins left from pests, following their removal.

Is Mold Wizard science based, and does it really work?

Mold Wizard is a patent pending state of the art process, backed by scientific third party mold remediation company outcome studies. Results indicate that after only 12 hours of toning, mold spore counts have been reduced from thousands to hundreds or in some cases even zero. Our outcome study database is continually growing, and we welcome your submissions.

What if I don't know what kinds of mold and mycotoxins are in my house?

While we recommend before and after mold testing, definitive results are not required. Mold Wizard MW6Professional will automatically play vibrations to disrupt a wide variety of common molds and mycotoxins.

Do you guarantee results?

We are confident that Mold Wizard will improve the overall health of your indoor environment. However, because each mold situation and environment is so different, and because effective structural remediation plays such an important role in the overall outcome, we cannot guarantee absolute results on your project.

Is Mold Wizard the same as fogging?

Fogging, or the use of a peroxide mist, while effective, can only treat the surfaces it can reach. Fogging is unable to access behind walls and under floors, or inside plush materials. Mold Wizard uses audio vibrations that can reach into all items, including even inside sealed containers.

Do I need to get rid of everything I own, once it has been in a mold contaminated environment?

No, getting rid of all your treasured belongings is no longer the only answer to overcoming mold. Mold Wizard can rehabilitate your clothing, furniture, and special items. We do not recommend trying to keep heavily water damaged or mold contaminated items, especially books, mattresses, pillows, and other items that are sound insulated by their nature.

Can I use Mold Wizard instead of hiring a structural remediation company?

Mold Wizard is designed for supplemental use after all mold and water damaged materials have been removed. It does not replace professional mold remediation services.

Will Mold Wizard remove mold from the soil of my houseplants?

House plant soil grows mold from contaminated environments. Fresh potting soil often contains unhealthy levels of toxic molds. Mold Wizard has limited ability to remove mold from wet substances, including potting soil. We recommend watering your plants for three weeks with a solution of one part hydrogen peroxide and two parts water, to remove mold and mycotoxins from the soil.

Why do I always have mold symptoms around holidays?

If you bring out holiday decorations that have been in bins or damp storage areas, this could be your problem. Dark, enclosed storage areas may need extra attention. Tightly packed bins are sound insulated, and need extra time or volume for Mold Wizard. If you react when visiting friends or family, you can pass on the link to this app. Tap the three lines in the upper left corner, then share and invite!

How do I know which program to choose?

Audio Air Freshener: Play 20-40 minutes, whenever you notice a musty odor, to reduce mildew in bathrooms, laundry rooms, basements, etc, in an environment that is generally mold-free. Mold Wizard MW6Pro: Play 48 hours or more, to reduce a wide variety of molds and mycotoxins, following structural remediation for any major flooding, and mold or water damage. Play 3-6 hours or more, after rain storms, snow melt, or change of season dampness that may promote mold growth. MW6Toxic: Play for 24-48 hours or more, to reduce Toxic Molds and Mycotoxins in combination with MW6Pro following remediation of an environment that has been tested as having a high level of toxic molds, such as Stachybotrys, Fusarium, Memnoniella, Peethambara, and Aspergillus. Play MW6Toxic for 90 minutes to 3 hours, to reduce mold and mycotoxin symptoms when you suspect exposure to contaminated items, in an environment where the structure is generally considered to be mold-free. MW6Myco: Play for 90 minutes or more, to reduce mycotoxin levels in combination with, or following MW6Pro or MW6Toxic, whenever high level of toxic molds or mycotoxins are indicated. Mold Tones MW6: Play individual tones 2 hours or more each, based on professional mold report. Tap View Details, and select any one specific mold.

Tone play time can last anywhere from a few minutes to several hours, depending on the mold condition and area size. It is possible, but not recommended to pause the app during a session. Complete the entire program before returning to normal use of the area.

What device should I use to play Mold Wizard Audio Tones?

Mold Wizard can be used on most iPhones, iPads, or Android phones 5.0-5.1 Lollipop or higher. We recommend dedicating an older unused smart phone to run this app, so you can leave it playing in the remediation space, while taking your personal phone with you. If your family does not have an old unused device sitting in a drawer, refurbished phones may be available on Amazon, ebay, and many other suppliers.

What speakers should I use to play Mold Wizard Audio Tones?

Mold Wizard audio tones can be played effectively from any speaker, including from a phone, tablet or computer. For best results, connect by bluetooth to your home or car audio system, or to any quality bluetooth or corded speaker. The higher the quality and the louder the sound, the better and faster the process will work.

How can I make the process work faster?

Playing the Mold Wizard program on two or more devices simultaneously, may more than double the speed of remediation, especially if you stagger the start times. Adding a MW6T, MW6Myco program simultaneously is also beneficial. Low volumes will produce good results, but louder volumes, will produce faster and more thorough outcomes. Purchase a professional subscription to run up to 10 devices simultaneously.

How long should I play Mold Wizard in my house?

Once structural remediation is complete, leave the contaminated environment for 48 hours or more, and run the MW6Pro program for the full duration of your time away. Follow up with a second mold test. If indicated, repeat the process.

How often should I play Mold Wizard?

We recommend following up with a six hour play time MW6Pro, about once a month, following a wet season, or MW6Toxic if you become aware of any mold contamination from an outside source.

How large of an area will Mold Wizard impact?

Mold Wizard is effective anywhere the sound can be heard. We recommend one device for about every 800 square feet.

How loud should I play Mold Wizard?

The louder Mold Wizard is played, the faster it works, however Mold Wizard can be very effective at low volumes over a longer period of time. We recommend that you play audio tones as loud as you can, without causing concern to neighbors.

Can I play Mold Wizard in a different room of the house, while I am at home?

Once you have completely remediated your environment, and run Mold Wizard MWProfessional for 48 hours or more, it is possible to run the app in another part of your house while you are home.

Health and safety

Can I stay in the house while running Mold Wizard?

The Free Audio Air Freshener tone is safe to use while present in the building. We strongly discourage staying in the home or building while using any other Mold Wizard in-app purchase audio programs, at least for the first 48 hours of play time. People who are especially sensitive to biotoxins, and who live in very mold sick homes, may have a very strong reaction to the audio vibrations. To be safe, find somewhere else to go, especially for the first 48 hour cycle. Although some people report experiencing benefits from exposure to this system, slowly and at low volume, Mold Wizard is not intended as a medical product, has not been tested for, and does not claim to treat or cure mold or mycotoxin illness in humans. If you experience an increased reaction in your home, during or after use, play Mold Wizard longer in an unoccupied space, discontinue use while you are present, and consult a doctor.

We do not recommend leaving pets in the house while using Mold Wizard.

People with extreme mold or environmental sensitivities may want to ask a friend or family member to begin the toning process for them. You may keep your bluetooth device by the door for easy access. Remember to keep your devices and speakers plugged in for continuous use.

I ran Mold Wizard as directed, and now I feel worse in my home instead of better. What should I do?

If you are experiencing increased sensitivity in your environment following use of the Mold Wizard app, there may be hidden mold in your home that is releasing mycotoxins. We recommend that you vacate your home, consult with a mold remediation expert, retest your home for mold. If no mold is found, play the MW6Myco and or the MW6Toxic program for 3 to 24 more hours. Also consider replacing your mattress.
