Air Purifier for Mould: How to Keep Your Home Healthier

Why Mould Is More Common Than You Think

Did you know that up to 70% of UK homes experience some form of mould or damp during the year? It’s one of the most overlooked causes of poor indoor air quality. When the weather cools and windows stay closed, the combination of heating, moisture, and poor ventilation creates the perfect breeding ground for mould spores.

This is where an air purifier for mould can make a real difference. By filtering out airborne spores and pollutants before they settle and spread, air purifiers help protect both your home and your health.

At Luno Hygiene, our AirCare range is designed to do just that, combining advanced filtration and smart technology to keep your air clean, safe, and fresh all year round.

 

What Causes Mould to Grow Indoors?

Mould thrives in damp, humid conditions. It’s often caused by:

Condensation: When warm air meets cold surfaces, water droplets form, especially on windows and walls.

Poor ventilation: Rooms like bathrooms, kitchens, and bedrooms can trap humid air.

Everyday activities: Cooking, showering, and even drying clothes indoors release moisture that can linger.

Even a small patch of mould can release thousands of invisible spores into the air. Once inhaled, these spores can trigger allergies, coughing, fatigue, and in some cases, worsen asthma symptoms.

 

How an Air Purifier for Mould Works

An air purifier for mould doesn’t just mask odours, it tackles the root cause.

1. Capturing Mould Spores with HEPA 14 Filtration

Luno’s medical-grade HEPA 14 filters remove 99.995% of airborne pollutants, including mould spores, dust, pollen, and bacteria. These microscopic particles are trapped before they have a chance to circulate through your home.

2. Eliminating Odours and VOCs

The activated carbon filter neutralises odours and absorbs volatile organic compounds (VOCs), the gases released by cleaning products, paints, and building materials that can worsen air quality.

3. Maintaining Balance with Electrostatic and Pre-Filters

Our 4-stage filtration system also includes an electrostatic adsorption fibre and pre-filter. These capture larger particles like pet hair, dust, and lint, helping the HEPA filter last longer and perform more efficiently.

Together, these layers create a cleaner, healthier indoor environment, ideal for homes battling damp and mould.

 

Signs You Might Need an Air Purifier for Mould

·      You may not always see mould, but your body might notice it first. Look out for:

·      Musty or earthy smells that won’t go away

·      Persistent coughing, sneezing, or blocked sinuses

·      Black or green spots forming on windowsills, ceilings, or walls

·      Fatigue or brain fog that improves when you’re outside

·      If these sound familiar, an air purifier can help remove airborne spores before they settle and multiply.

 

The Link Between Mould, Air Quality, and Wellbeing

Breathing in clean air affects more than just your lungs. Poor indoor air quality can impact your focus, sleep, and overall wellbeing. This becomes even more important during autumn and winter, when we spend up to 90% of our time indoors.

Studies have shown that mould exposure can contribute to headaches, inflammation, and even stress responses in sensitive individuals. Having an air purifier for mould running quietly in the background can make a noticeable difference in comfort and peace of mind.
