Mould Spores in the Air: The Hidden Culprit Behind Musty Rooms and Stuffy Sinuses

They’re invisible, airborne, and multiply faster than you think. Mould spores exist in every home—and when moisture meets poor ventilation, they take over. Here’s how these microscopic invaders spread through your air, and what you can do to stop them.

1 Hidden in Plain Sight

Millions of Spores Floating Undetected

Each mould colony releases thousands of tiny reproductive spores—microscopic particles just 2–10 microns wide. They drift freely through the air, settling on fabrics, furniture, and even inside air vents. Most homes contain invisible clouds of these spores, waiting for the right humidity to start new colonies.

2 Reason Two

Where Mould Hides (and Why You Don’t Notice)

Mould doesn’t just grow in basements. It thrives in window sills, shower grout, AC ducts, and behind walls—anywhere moisture lingers. Once airborne, spores travel easily between rooms, clinging to dust and pet hair. Even spotless homes can unknowingly host mold hotspots in areas you rarely look.

  • Bathrooms, laundries & kitchens with condensation
  • Behind furniture or carpets on concrete floors
  • Inside HVAC and air-conditioning vents
3 Health Impact

How Mould Spores Affect Your Body

When inhaled, mould spores can irritate the airways and trigger allergic reactions, headaches, or fatigue. For sensitive individuals, especially children or those with asthma, exposure may worsen breathing problems or cause chronic sinus inflammation. Some moulds even produce mycotoxins that can affect concentration and immunity over time.

4 Why They Build Up Indoors

Still Air + Humidity = Growth

In still, humid environments, spores settle and bloom. Every time you cook, shower, or dry clothes inside, you feed the cycle. Once colonies form, they continue releasing new spores—spreading through your home’s air like invisible pollen.

5 How AirRepair Stops the Cycle

Electrostatic (ESP) Technology Targets Mould at Its Source

While traditional HEPA filters clog and miss ultra-fine spores, AirRepair’s electrostatic collector charges and traps them out of the air. It captures particles as small as 0.01 microns—far smaller than most mold spores—while maintaining powerful airflow. Each wash resets performance to 100%, ensuring constant purification without filter replacements.
