Small Particle Cleaning: The Missing Step in CIRS Recovery
When you live with CIRS, getting out of exposure isn’t just about removing visible mold—it’s about eliminating the microscopic particles that keep your immune system on high alert. These tiny fragments, spores, actinobacteria, and endotoxins can remain in dust long after remediation, and for sensitive individuals, they are enough to trigger symptoms and block healing.
Targets what you can’t see – removes microscopic toxins invisible to the eye.
Prevents relapse – reduces lingering exposure that can keep you sick.
Essential after remediation or moving – even clean homes can have contaminant carryover from belongings.
Helps eliminate sources of multiple biotoxins that have accumulated in your home due to water damage.
I recommend Branch Basics for small particle cleaning because it’s a non-toxic, residue-free surfactant that lifts and removes microscopic contaminants without adding harsh chemicals or VOCs.
Use for damp wiping, laundry, and soaking porous items.
Laundry protocol: Detergent + Oxygen Boost, multiple wash cycles, sun-dry when possible
Safe for sensitive individuals and CIRS patients.
Aerosolver is an advanced fogging method that “grabs” airborne particles and brings them down to surfaces so they can be wiped away.
Fog room until misty, then wipe all surfaces twice.
Captures airborne toxins that vacuums and cloths can miss.
Biocides and enzyme-based cleaners aim to kill and destroy mold and bacteria. This ruptures cell walls, releasing even more inflammatory particles and toxins like hyphal fragments and beta glucans into the air.
This can increase immune activation in CIRS patients rather than reduce it.
Once released, these microscopic fragments are harder to capture and can spread through your home.
The goal in CIRS cleaning is to capture and remove contaminants, not kill them in place and create smaller, more reactive particles.
For CIRS patients, small particle cleaning is not optional—it’s critical. Combining safe surface cleaning with Branch Basics and airborne particle removal with Aerosolver ensures you’re truly out of exposure, giving your body the chance to heal.
