Gear I Recommend
The products I use and recommend as a mould inspector — and as someone who's recovered from mould illness in her own home. Everything here is something I own, have tested with clients, or would put in my own house. No fear-based gadgets, no "miracle" mould sprays — just gear that helps you control moisture, monitor your home, and clean smarter.

🌬️ Air Purifiers
A good HEPA air purifier pulls mould spores and fragments out of the air — one of the two appliances I consider essential in a mould-prone home (the other's a dehumidifier: one cleans the air, one dries it). My top recommendation is Inova — the brand I use in my own home and recommend for any clients with CIRS. The E8 suits bedrooms, the E20/DE20 open-plan areas. Inova is ordered through me directly at industry pricing (they don't do discount codes): email info@mouldwise.com.au and I'll help you pick the right size. For an off-the-shelf option, the compact Winix below is a reasonable HEPA unit for smaller rooms.

💧 Dehumidifiers
The single most useful appliance for a mould-prone home. I recommend by room size — compact for bedrooms, medium for living areas, large for whole floors — and make sure to check whether you need a refrigerant model or desiccant, based on your climate.
🌡️ Healthy Home Essentials
My monitoring and prevention kit: thermohygrometers (about $15 and every home should have one — keep humidity under 60%), water leak alarms for under sinks and behind washing machines, reusable desiccants, and air purification.

🧺 Laundry Products
What I use for mould-affected laundry — the detergents that actually help, mesh and garment bags, and storage to stop clean items being re-contaminated. (This kit pairs with my laundry decontamination series on Instagram.)
🛁 Bathroom Essentials
The highest-humidity room in the house. Overflow covers, drain tools, leak detection and moisture control for the room that needs it most.
📦 Storage Solutions
How I store clothes, linen and belongings so they stay dry and cross-contamination-free — vacuum bags, sealed storage and moisture absorbers.
🧹 Cleaning & Floors
Physical removal beats sprays every time — mould needs to be removed, not just "killed." My cleaning tools, plus the wet-dry vacuum and steam gear I use on hard floors.
📶 Low-EMF Home Setup
A little outside the mould lane, but part of my own healthy-home setup: hardwired internet and simple swaps for a lower-EMF home. [Yes, this is why a mould inspector owns 20 metres of ethernet cable.]
A quick note before you buy anything
Gear supports a healthy home — it doesn't create one. Mould always comes back to moisture, so if you've got active mould or unexplained symptoms, the order is: find the source, fix it, remove the mould properly — then let the gadgets keep it that way. Not sure where your problem is coming from?
