Question from LaniH
A remediation contractor sprayed two applications of Microban disinfectant in my ductwork (supposedly to help removed loose fiberglass that had been sucked into ductwork). When the heat was turned on and the house shut up in the fall, I became sick and had to leave my house within days and haven’t been back. My theory is that the Microban coated the ductwork and is breaking down as the heat passes through the ducts. My husband and son feel fine in the house but we have started looking for a new house to buy because I can’t live there. Do you have any idea how I can get this junk out of my ducts so that I could possibly live there again?

It might burn out using the heater. In the past, I’ve contacted manufacturers to find out how to remove various substances. I suggest you do that in this case.
