Small Particle Cleaning (SPC) Remediation

If you have CIRS or a heightened sensitivity to mold, standard remediation often isn't enough — trace spores and particles left behind can still trigger symptoms. That's why Claro's Small Particle Cleaning process goes further, clearing microscopic mold debris from the air and every surface, so your home isn't just remediated, it's actually safe to live in.

What Is Small Particle Cleaning?

everywhere

After mold remediation, the visible problem is gone, but what's left behind is often invisible. Mold releases spores as small as 2 to 10 microns, along with fragments of hyphae (the thread-like structures mold grows from) and mycotoxins that can attach to dust. These particles are small enough to stay suspended in the air or settle into carpets, vents, and soft surfaces long after the source has been removed.


Small Particle Cleaning is the process of removing that residual material using HEPA filtration equipment built to capture particles at this scale, well beyond what a standard vacuum or air filter can trap.
The process typically involves HEPA vacuuming of floors, walls, and hard-to-reach corners, followed by air scrubbing to pull remaining particles out of circulation. This step happens after remediation is complete and before the home is considered fully clean.


For most homeowners, this is a final layer of assurance, and might not be required. For people with CIRS (Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome) or a heightened sensitivity to mold, it's often necessary. Trace particle levels that wouldn't affect most people can still cause symptoms in this group, so removing them thoroughly matters more than it does in a typical remediation job.

1,000s now living or working mold-free

After testing positive for mold in my body, another company told me there was no issue — but Claro's inspection found mold in my decorative pillows and under my sinks that a standard air test completely missed. After a full home sanitization, our whole family was breathing better than we had in 8 years. Can't recommend them enough!

We recently had Nick of Claro - Complete Mold Remediation consult us on our crawlspace and we were very impressed with his expertise. He conducted an air quality test of our house using brand new technology/equipment. He quickly put any concerns we had about mold issues to rest with these precise measurements. We would recommend him to anyone who is looking to understand how to make their home healthy and safe.

Professional, courteous, patient, and thorough! During recent repairs, a serious mold infection was discovered.  My whole house was treated without the need to tear out walls just to find mold. The treatment even took care of any mold infection my HVAC system. I would not hesitate to recommend Claro to anyone. 10/10, no notes!

I used Claro for mold remediation 1 month ago. We found mold growing around a bathroom vent. We had them clean up the growth on the ceiling and perform a full house duct cleaning. I have a large house with alot of vents so the price was very fair! They were able to perform a large job in 2 days. Now, one month later and I must admit my "mild allergies" are gone, no scratchy throat. I am very impressed with this company and Nick's attention to us when we called upon them.

My husband and I were shocked to get a reading of mold during a home inspection. There was no visual mold or water in our home, but we wanted our home to be mold-free.

The process was fast, cost-effective, and worked better than anything we had tried before. Unlike other methods that just clean the surface, this keeps [mold] from coming back.

The first of its kind here in town. So great to have a safe mold remediation option in STL. There is nothing better you can do for the health of your family than making sure your house is mold-free! They offer mold inspections and make it easy.
