About Our Disinfection Technology

What is iHP treatment? It is a hospital-grade disinfection technology that uses ionized hydrogen peroxide (iHP) to disinfect surfaces. The same technology is trusted in hospitals, medical offices, laboratories, schools, gyms, restaurants, and senior living facilities, and we bring that same level of disinfection to homes and businesses across South Florida. The process starts with a low-concentration hydrogen peroxide solution that passes through a cold plasma arc, creating a fine, dry mist that reaches even tight corners and crevices.

Is it safe? Yes. It is EPA registered and doesn’t rely on wet time, additives, or high concentrations. It’s residue-free, so there’s nothing to wipe or rinse afterward, and it breaks down into only oxygen and water.

What does it disinfect? It targets bacteria, viruses, and mold spores on hard, non-porous surfaces.

How effective is it? The iHP treatment is validated to a 99.9999% kill rate, a higher standard than most disinfectants achieve.

Will it damage my belongings or furniture? No. The iHP mist is a dry mist that moves into tight spaces without saturating surfaces, making it compatible with sensitive equipment, electronics, and furnishings.

Is this the same as a mold treatment? The iHP treatment is the final disinfection step in our mold remediation process, used after the mold source has been addressed and mold physically removed. It targets mold spores and bacteria on treated surfaces.

Preparing for Your Appointment

What should I do to prepare for my appointment? You’ll receive a message a few days before your appointment confirming the date and giving simple prep instructions, things like opening closets and clearing food and food-contact surfaces. Plan for the treated area to be vacant during the service, so make arrangements for family members and pets.

Do I need to take down paintings or wall art? In most cases, no. The iHP mist is dry and doesn’t saturate surfaces, so we haven’t had issues with wall art or paintings. If you have valuable or sentimental pieces, you’re welcome to take them down or cover them, just for your own peace of mind.

What about food or items on kitchen counters? Food and food-contact surfaces should be covered, bagged, or removed before treatment. SteraMist is designed for hard, non-porous surfaces like counters, tile, and fixtures, not direct food contact.

Do I need to remove furniture or belongings before treatment? This depends on the job. For surface disinfection, most items can stay in place. For mold remediation, contaminated porous materials (like affected drywall, insulation, or soft furnishings) are typically removed as part of the remediation process, separate from the disinfection step. Your technician will walk you through what applies to your specific situation.

After Treatment

How long before I can re-enter my home? Re-entry time depends on the size and layout of the treated area. As a general guide, the space is typically safe to re-enter once hydrogen peroxide readings drop below 1 ppm, usually within minutes to a short while after treatment, following a brief aeration period. Your technician will give you a more specific estimate for your home.

Will I need to clean everything after the treatment? No. iHP disinfection is residue-free, so there’s nothing to wipe down or rinse afterward.

What will the mold look like after treatment? The iHP disinfection won’t remove existing mold staining — that’s a cosmetic issue separate from disinfection. If staining remains after mold has been properly remediated, we can discuss cleanup options for those surfaces.

How will I know it worked? Your technician documents the treatment, including the area covered, application details, and post-treatment hydrogen peroxide readings confirming the space is safe to re-enter. For mold-related jobs, independent lab testing can also be arranged to verify results.
