After all your hard work sorting, cleaning, and organizing, it’s finally time to bring items back into your home. But before you start unpacking, it’s important to create a safe and thoughtful reintroduction process.

Start by ensuring that your home environment is clean and stable:

• Post-remediation is complete.

• Surfaces and air have been cleaned.

• HVAC system has been addressed and isn’t spreading particles.

• Air filtration (ideally with HEPA units) is running consistently.

Then, bring cleaned items back in slowly and in stages—especially if you’re still recovering from mold-related illness. This allows you to observe how your body responds and avoid a major setback.

🧺 Best practice: Start with daily-use items—like kitchenware, basic furniture, and clothing—and only add back stored items after you’re confident they’re not causing reactions.
