Preventing Mould With Better Air Filtration
Mould Loves Queensland
Our warm, humid climate is ideal for mould. Once spores settle on a damp surface, they spread quickly — and airborne mould spores can trigger allergies, asthma and respiratory irritation.
How Filtration Helps
Air filtration won't fix a leak, but it plays a key role in mould control by capturing airborne spores before they settle and multiply. A quality F7 or higher filter removes a large share of mould spores from circulating air, and HEPA filtration captures them almost entirely.
The Full Picture
Filtration works best alongside good moisture control:
- •Fix leaks and address damp promptly
- •Keep humidity down with ventilation and air conditioning
- •Run your HVAC system regularly to keep air moving
- •Replace filters before they become damp and clogged — a wet filter can grow mould itself
Don't Let Filters Become the Source
A neglected, moisture-laden filter can turn into a breeding ground. In humid conditions, check filters more often and replace them promptly once they are loaded or damp.
