Is it effective against mold spores?

Mold spores can range from 3-100 microns with some even being as small as 1 micron. Since this air purifier has a HEPA filter rated to filter up to 0.3 microns, it would be safe to assume that it is effective against mold spores.

Most particles that allergy sufferers routinely worry about are much smaller on average, such as pollen (30 microns), dust (10), mold spores (10), pet dander (5)

I found that it worked against mold which bothers me. I don't know about asbestos.

I think it would be fine, although you might want to test a section of material first to see if there is any discoloration. FYI, this didn't do anything to the mildew I had and I had to buy another product. It's a great disinfectant and order remover but no so good at mold or mildew in my experience.

I only used it to eliminate odors and I didn't have any issues with mold so I can't really say whether it would reduce mold or not.

It won't hurt the lemon tree. I don't know if it will kill the mold, but if its caused by insects then it will work.

Hi J, The ozone plate/cartidge is made of ceramic. Yes, this ozone generator will kill airborne mold spores and eliminate odor for a period of time. However, NO ozone generator on the market (no matter what a manufacturer will tell you) will eliminate ALL mold spores in a contaminated area. This is because mold spores can hide in nooks and crannies in interior surfaces such as inside drywall and other porous material like clothing etc. that may not necessarily be reached by ozone purification. Generally, ozone purification treatment is used after conventional mold clean-ups that involve a bleach scrubbing of contaminated surfaces. I hope this helps and please let us know if we can help with anything else :).

It has been effective for me on many plants and roses. It is better to spray before the fungus forms if you know that certain plants has the possibility of getting infected.

I haven't had a problem but I live in Arizona and fungus and mold are not prevalent here. Sorry, I have no suggestions.

Not likely. It circulates air through a filter. I am not sure how that could have much of an impact on mold.

IMHO.......absolutely not!!!! Mold is a difficult problem to rectify because it can be so invasive. There are many mold strains, most benign but others are deadly, so tackling mold begins with proper identification. Once identified you can choose the best method of eradication. Physical removal of surface mold followed up with direct application of a mold fighting formula is your best approach. Keep in mind that repeated applications will most likely be necessary if mold infestation is severe. This Air Purifier simply is not up the task of eliminating your mold problem despite whatever claims are made. An expensive multi-stage unit would be a more suitable choice. These units are very effective but annual operating costs, in the form of replacement filters and UV bulbs, can be excessive. Just my 2 cents.

Yes, it works really well for at least one room. Of course, it can only remove the spores from the air. It won't fix the source of the mold. You need to control moisture for that. I have a basement exhaust fan that runs whenever humidity is over 30%.

It's extremely powerful and makes my eyes and throat sting when I am in the house unless it is in my basement. Even then, ozone leaks upstairs to my daughter's room and bothers her in there, so I only do it when she's gone or I am leaving the house. It strongly cautions you to do it away from people and is probably stick to that, knowing how it makes me feel to breathe it in. It does kill mold spores, yes. But I believe you need to run it for 24 hours to thoroughly kill the spores.

I know the previous person said it didn't do anything for their mold, but we had mold and it killed it IMMEDIATELY on contact. The room got too humid and mold came back, used it again and it worked amazingly (so I think it kiils mold in carpet or other things, but probably won't get rid of a shower or sink mold/mildew without scrubbing). With a dehumidifier on, it never came back. I've used it on a red couch and beige carpet and it was fine on both.

all depends on what type of material ,this won't work on plywood . i suggest first to get a dehumidifier to remove all moisture .then bleach (straight) this will kill the spores , then use kilz !

We only use it for pest control not a mold product but any liquid should work. Use appropriate protection for the product.

Yes it will! You will want to use a spray bottle for walls to get the best coverage. This product is safe to use around children and pets. Of course, be sure they are not around when you spray and be sure to wear a good p-90/100 mask when working with mold.
