Primary cleanup should be dry - hepa filtered shop vac and good old elbow grease. Any time that you introduce moisture into the cleaning process, you have to dry the structure or you will contribute to regrowth.
A dust mask is NOT effective protedctive equipment, you should be using a p100 filter mask - p100 is hepa
When dealing with a cleanup, we use water based biocides ( fungicides and sporicides) but we use structural lgr dehumidifiers and when moisture meter says wood and block is dry, we seal and we're done
Always ensure that waste is double bagged before it leaves the dirty zone and make sure that you hvac is not drawing the dirty air into the rest of your house
For non porous, hepa vac and then wet clean with what ever tickles your fancy.
Spraying tear out materials will only make a nice mess and now the spores are on the floor for you to disturb everytime you walk. Dryvac those materials first, double bag and remove. Let's face it, the spores are already in the air. You can setup an exhaust fan so that anything airborne goes outside for your safety. You should also setup a containment area to prevent airborne migration. This is a common practise in the industry but usually only applies to moderate to severe contamination which is NOT for DIY cleanup.
