With the onset of rain and flood season, I wanted to take a moment to share the dangers of mildew and the benefits of WellisAir’s technology to combat mildew.
Mildew is an unwelcome guest in homes, businesses, and industrial settings alike. This stubborn fungal growth thrives in humid environments and can cause structural damage, health concerns, and unpleasant odors—especially after flood events.
Traditional methods like bleach and dehumidifiers offer only temporary relief. Hydroxyl technology provides a continuous, eco-friendly, and highly effective solution for mildew prevention and elimination.
What Are Neutral Hydroxyls?
Neutral hydroxyls (hydroxyl radicals) are highly reactive molecules made of hydrogen and oxygen. Known as "nature’s detergent," they naturally break down pollutants, bacteria, viruses, and mildew spores—without harmful residues.
Since 2008, hydroxyl generators have been used in homes and businesses to neutralize pathogens in the air and on surfaces. Their power makes them ideal for mildew remediation.
Why Hydroxyls Are a Game-Changer for Mildew Control
- ✅ Stops Mildew at the Source – Breaks down spores before they spread
- ✅ Eliminates Musty Odors – Neutralizes airborne contaminants
- ✅ Non-Toxic & Eco-Friendly – Safe for people and pets
- ✅ Works in Air & on Surfaces – Goes beyond contact-only solutions
- ✅ No Harsh Chemicals – Leaves behind only clean air
How Hydroxyl Radicals Combat Mildew Growth
- Cell Wall Disruption – Damages mildew spores and renders them inactive
- Prevents Spore Germination – Stops further mildew growth
- Breaks Down Mycotoxins – Reduces health risks from toxic residues
- Neutralizes Musty Odors – Targets MVOCs for fresher air

Scientific Studies Supporting Hydroxyl Efficacy
Studies in Applied and Environmental Microbiology and Indoor Air found that hydroxyl treatments reduced mold spore counts by over 90% within 24 hours. The EPA also recognizes hydroxyls as a safe method for controlling indoor pathogens.

Comparing Hydroxyl Technology to Traditional Mildew Treatments
- Non-Toxic and Eco-Friendly – Leaves only water and oxygen
- No Surface Damage – Unlike corrosive chemicals
- Targets Airborne Spores – Prevents recurrence
- Provides Continuous Protection – Safe for 24/7 use
Who Benefits from Hydroxyl Technology?
- 🏠 Homes – Ideal for basements, bathrooms, and kitchens
- 🏨 Hotels & Offices – Keeps spaces fresh without chemicals
- 🏥 Healthcare Facilities – Improves air quality, reduces spores
- 🚧 Restoration Professionals – Critical after floods or leaks
Choosing the Right Hydroxyl Generator
- ✔ Check Coverage Area – Match to your square footage
- ✔ Use Hydroxyl Neutral (OH•) – Safe and non-corrosive
- ✔ Ensure Ozone-Free Operation – WellisAir produces ZERO ozone
Hydroxyl technology is proven, powerful, and the future of mildew control—delivering long-term results without harsh chemicals. Upgrade your approach today.
