Dealing with Mold Issues – Can Air Purifiers Really Help? | Dyson Community
Skip to main content

I’ve been dealing with a pretty frustrating mold problem in my home, and I’m wondering if air purifiers could actually help improve the air quality and reduce some of the issues we’re facing. I know that mold is primarily a moisture problem, but I’ve read that air purifiers with HEPA filters can capture mold spores in the air and might help with the smell and prevent it from spreading further.

I’m trying to figure out if investing in an air purifier is worth it or if I should just focus on removing the mold directly. Has anyone here had experience using air purifiers for mold problems? Did it make a noticeable difference in the air quality, or was it more of a short-term fix?

I’ve been looking for more info on mold and air treatment options, and I found some helpful discussions on the topic over at moldremovalmemphis.com. Still, I’d love to hear some personal experiences or suggestions from this community about whether an air purifier might be a good step, or if there’s something else I should be focusing on.

Hi @Henry922,

Welcome to the Dyson Community!

Dyson purifiers can capture and retain particles the size of mold spores, in addition to microscopic dust, allergens, pet dander, odours, gases and even formaldehyde. But they won’t address the source of the mold itself.

So in addition to investing in a purifier to help maintain optimal indoor air quality, you may also want to consider tackling the source of the mold in your home.

Hope this helps!
