You’ve Tried Everything
If you suffer from allergies, you probably already know about dust mites, pollen, bacteria, and other allergens — and how hard they are to get rid of once they build up. Mattress covers, allergy shampoo for pets, new air filters — if you’ve tried the usual fixes and you’re still not getting relief, the FreshStart Process treats the whole home rather than chasing individual symptoms.
Preparation for the FreshStart Process
A FreshStart treatment takes about 5 hours from arrival to re-entry. No people or pets (except fish) can be on the premises during treatment, so make sure everyone who might come home during that window — kids, guests, caregivers — knows the schedule, and that an alternate location is arranged.
Checklist
- Place wet or soiled elastic clothing in closed drawers or cabinets.
- Point out any specific problem areas (visible mold, smoke odor, pet odor) to the technician when they arrive.
- Open drawers, cupboards, vanities, and closets fully.
- Spread out closet clothing to allow full treatment exposure.
- Pre-treat, repair, or replace any materials that have absorbed urine, feces, or mold.
- Remove bedding from mattresses and drape it over furniture or doors.
- Delicate plants (like orchids) may be removed in advance, as some color lightening can occur.
Contact information for your technician will be posted at all entrances during treatment. Do not enter until the space has been tested and cleared for occupancy.
