And cleaning and disinfecting carpet and personal items if they can be saved.  Sanitization– After the removal process, thorough cleaning of personal items like furniture, floors, walls, and disinfecting curtains and carpet, etc. Deodorization and removal of odors may be completed with the use of fogging equipment.  Preventative Recommendations– This is the last step in the mold remediation process.
