Professional Antimicrobial Fogging

For a safer, fresher, mould-reduced environment

What You Need to Know About Mould Spores

When mould grows, it doesn’t just sit on the surface, it releases thousands of tiny airborne spores that spread throughout your home or workplace. Even after visible mould is cleaned away, these microscopic spores can linger in the air and on surfaces, contributing to musty odours, triggering allergies, and allowing mould to return. That’s where professional antimicrobial fogging comes in.

At Simply Filtered, our team provide a specialist antimicrobial fogging service to help reduce airborne and surface mould spores after damp, leaks, or contamination.

When Fogging is Recommended

Fogging can be provided as a standalone service in appropriate situations, or as a final hygiene step following remedial works — we’ll advise honestly if it’s not appropriate.

Antimicrobial fogging is most effective after all remedial works are complete, including fixing leaks and removing any damaged or contaminated materials, and before redecoration begins. At this stage, the ultra-fine mist can reach all exposed areas and effectively neutralise lingering spores, bacteria, and microbes.

What to Expect

Our professional fogging process uses a fine-particle mist capable of accessing areas that traditional cleaning methods cannot reach, including:

  • Wall cavities

  • Ceiling voids

  • Underfloor spaces

  • Behind fitted units

  • Ventilation pathways

This process is designed to:

  • Reduce airborne and dormant mould spores

  • Lower microbial levels on treated surfaces

  • Improve the overall freshness and cleanliness of the environment

  • Provide peace of mind after a moisture or contamination event

We offer two high-quality formulations to suit different preferences:

  • Pine Fresh – a clean, lightly fragranced finish

  • Odourless – ideal for people sensitive to scents

Understanding Costs

The cost of antimicrobial fogging depends on the size of the property, the number of rooms or areas being treated, and whether the service is provided as a standalone treatment or following remedial works.

For this reason, fogging does not have a fixed price. Each treatment is assessed individually to ensure the appropriate coverage and formulation are used.

Where fogging is recommended following a survey or remedial work, this will be clearly explained. Standalone fogging requests are reviewed to confirm suitability before any treatment is arranged.

Fogging treatments are typically completed in a single visit.

Safe, Non-Toxic, Property-Friendly

We only use food-grade, biodegradable agents making the treatment safe for residential and commercial properties. For optimal coverage and results:

  • The property must be vacant (people and pets) for 3–4 hours

  • Doors, cupboards, and drawers should be left open

  • There is no need to move furniture

Who Benefits Most from Fogging

Antimicrobial fogging offers valuable reassurance for:

  • Households with infants, elderly residents, or immunocompromised individuals

  • People with asthma or sensitivities

  • Landlords and property managers preparing a safe, treated environment

  • Anyone wanting improved hygiene after damp or mould-related events

Important to Understand

No fogging or hygiene treatment can guarantee that mould will never return.

Mould spores exist naturally in all environments. Long-term control relies on effective moisture management, good ventilation, and addressing underlying damp issues.

FAQs - Antimicrobial Fogging

  • No. Fogging does not resolve the underlying cause of mould. It may be recommended as a supportive measure in specific situations, such as post-remediation or sanitisation, but only alongside addressing moisture or ventilation issues.

  • Fogging may be appropriate after mould removal, during change of occupancy, or where sanitisation is required. It is never recommended as a standalone solution without prior assessment.
