FINE PARTICULATE CLEANING

What Is a Fine Particulate Cleaning?

Fine particulate cleaning is considered a microbial cleaning job, typically performed in one of two situations:

• Either no demolition is required; or
• The necessary demolition has already been completed—typically during some type of home renovation project and reconstruction job—and what remains is the critical cleaning phase

Fine Particulate Cleaning is a specialized service we offer to eliminate microscopic dust, debris, and contaminants that standard cleaning methods leave behind. 

After mold remediation or water damage restoration, the air and surfaces in a building often contain residual fine particles—such as mold spores, microbial fragments, soot, or drywall dust—that can compromise indoor air quality and pose health risks to occupants. Our process targets these particles with precision, ensuring a cleaner, healthier environment.

Fine particulates are typically invisible to the naked eye, measuring less than 10 microns in diameter. These contaminants can penetrate deep into the lungs when inhaled and are especially dangerous for individuals with asthma, allergies, or compromised immune systems. 

That’s why our fine particulate cleaning process focuses on reducing airborne particles and removing settled debris from all horizontal and vertical surfaces, even in hard-to-reach areas.

How the Process Works

Our team uses HEPA-filtered vacuums, air scrubbers, and specialty microfiber cloths to safely and effectively remove contaminants. We clean from top to bottom, including ceilings, walls, trim, baseboards, vents, light fixtures, and contents—paying attention to every detail. 

The process may also include fogging or air washing with EPA-registered solutions, depending on the level of contamination and customer needs.

This service is especially valuable after:

• Mold remediation

• Fire or smoke damage

• Water damage events

• Construction or renovation projects

• Any incident involving fine dust or biological debris

Post-Remediation Verification

To ensure that our fine particulate cleaning meets the highest standards, we recommend post-remediation verification (PRV) testing. This step confirms that particle levels are within safe and acceptable ranges and that the environment is free of residual contaminants.

PRV may involve air sampling, surface sampling, or both, depending on the scope of work and the original contamination. We coordinate with third-party industrial hygienists when needed to ensure objectivity and reliability. A successful PRV gives our clients documented proof that the job was done thoroughly and that the space is safe for reoccupancy.

Why It Matters

By investing in fine particulate cleaning, property owners reduce health risks, improve air quality, and ensure that the indoor space is truly clean—not just visually, but at a microscopic level. It’s the final polish on a remediation job and a key step in restoring safe, livable conditions.

Whether you’re a homeowner, property manager, or business owner, our fine particulate cleaning gives you peace of mind that the job is thoroughly done. If you’re unsure whether your property needs this service, our team can perform an evaluation and recommend the best course of action. Your health and safety are our top priority.
