Is a HEPA vacuum cleaner useful for molds?

A HEPA vacuum cleaner is a useful investment. It captures fine particles that a typical vacuum cleaner would blow back into the air. Better-built HEPA vacuums have tighter housing that prevents these fine particles from leaking out. An alternative to HEPA vacuum cleaners is a central vacuum cleaner that exhausts to the outside. If you have a mold problem in your house and you cannot get the problem fixed immediately for one reason or another, vacuuming frequently with a HEPA vacuum cleaner is recommended as an interim measure. Mold spores are in settled dust. Your exposure to mold is lowered by reducing the amount of dust.  more
