Mold is more than just an eyesore. It damages building materials, worsens indoor air quality, and creates health concerns for families, tenants, employees, and customers. For homeowners and small business owners, the challenge is not just cleaning up visible mold; it is stopping the constant cycle of mold returning. The key is to treat both mold spores in the air and mold colonies on surfaces, while preventing future growth.
Mold spreads through microscopic spores that travel easily in the air. Once they land on damp surfaces such as drywall, wood, or carpet, they begin to grow. Because spores are invisible to the naked eye, mold problems often return after surface cleaning.
Filtration alone is not enough. While HEPA filters can capture spores, they do not destroy them. Spores can bypass filters or settle on surfaces where they can grow again.
Chemical cleaning is temporary. Disinfectants may kill visible mold but cannot reach spores in the air or hidden in porous surfaces. Once new spores enter the building, growth begins again within 24–48 hours.
Mold does not just damage property. It also poses risks to people with asthma and other respiratory conditions. According to the American Lung Association, mold exposure can trigger asthma symptoms and worsen lung function, especially in children, seniors, and those with compromised immune systems.
By preventing mold spores from spreading in the first place, you protect both your building and the health of everyone inside. Pyure’s hydroxyl technology
continuously reduces airborne and surface mold spores, helping to lower the risk of mold-related asthma flare-ups while keeping your environment clean.
Pyure systems bring the power of the outdoors inside. Using patented UV optics, Pyure generates safe levels of hydroxyl radicals, the same molecules created outdoors by sunlight. These hydroxyls, along with their organic oxidants, spread throughout a space, continuously breaking down mold spores at the molecular level.
Unlike ozone generators, hydroxyls are safe for continuous use around people, pets, and plants. Pyure’s efficacy has been validated in independent laboratories:

One powerful example of Pyure technology in action comes from the maritime industry. A 50-meter yacht was forced out of service when multiple species of mold were detected onboard. The contamination was so severe that crew members were relocated to hotels for over a month, while the captain slept on the sun deck to avoid entering the interior.
To restore safe conditions, Pyure’s maritime distribution partner Vikand installed several Pyure IDI™ air and surface purification devices directly into the vessel’s air handlers. Prior to activation, mold test kits placed in different parts of the yacht, including the kitchen, wheelhouse, and both port and starboard air handling units, showed heavy growth after just three days.
When the IDI devices were switched on and allowed to run continuously, new test kits placed in the same locations told a different story. After seven days, mold growth was almost entirely absent. The comparison confirmed that Pyure’s Dynamic Protection technology had neutralized mold spores in both the air and on surfaces, creating a healthier, safer environment for crew and passengers.
The same approach that kept this yacht mold-free can be applied in homes, offices, and small businesses — anywhere mold spores threaten air quality, health, or building integrity.
When Pyure systems run continuously, they neutralize new spores as they enter through doors, windows, or HVAC systems. This stops spores before they can settle and grow.
Pyure offers flexible options for both homes and businesses:
In addition to using Pyure technology, take proactive steps to keep your space mold-free:
Mold prevention is most effective when you stop spores before they can grow. Pyure’s hydroxyl technology offers homeowners and small business owners continuous protection against mold.
