The Science of Natural Mould Defence
Mould is a natural part of our environment. The question isn't whether mould exists, it's whether your home provides conditions that encourage its growth. Natural mould defence focuses on environmental factors rather than reactive treatment.
Understanding Mould Formation
Mould requires three things to establish itself: moisture, warmth, and organic material to feed on. Modern homes, with their emphasis on energy efficiency and airtight construction, often create conditions that favour mould growth, particularly in bathrooms, laundries, and spaces with limited ventilation.
Traditional approaches focus on treating mould after it appears. While necessary in cases of established growth, this reactive approach doesn't address the underlying environmental conditions that allowed mould to form in the first place.
Prevention Rather Than Remediation
Natural mould defence takes a different approach. Rather than waiting for visible growth and then treating it, this methodology focuses on creating and maintaining environmental conditions that are less conducive to mould formation.
This isn't about eliminating mould spores, they're present everywhere and always will be. It's about environmental management: making your home a place where those spores are less likely to find the conditions they need to establish visible growth.
The Role of Botanical Diffusion
Some botanical compounds have been examined in controlled and observational contexts for their interactions with indoor environments. When diffused regularly, these compounds disperse throughout a space, contributing to an overall environment that may be less favourable for mould establishment.
This approach works alongside not instead of good ventilation, moisture control, and regular cleaning. It's one tool in a comprehensive approach to home environment management.
Evidence-Informed Formulation
Formulated using botanical selections and proportions informed by available research and formulation practice. Each batch undergoes GC-MS testing to verify purity and consistency.
We're careful about what we claim. Natural mould defence is about supporting long-term environmental balance, not about instant results or guaranteed outcomes. Consistency matters more than intensity.
What This Approach Does Not Claim
Natural mould defence does not claim to kill, eliminate, or treat existing mould. It does not claim therapeutic or medicinal benefits. It is not a biocide, disinfectant, or surface treatment.
If you have established mould growth, professional remediation may be necessary. Natural mould defence is designed for ongoing prevention and environmental support, not reactive treatment.
