In this episode of The Healthy Home Show, Charlie Lemmer is joined by Sam Bowles, co-founder of Pure Maintenance UK, for an in-depth and evidence-based conversation about mould, indoor air quality and human health.
Mould is often dismissed as a cosmetic or maintenance issue, yet growing evidence shows it can have a significant impact on wellbeing — particularly for those with allergies, asthma, autoimmune conditions or heightened sensitivities.
Drawing on his personal health journey and years of professional experience, Sam explains why visible mould is rarely the full problem, how mould spores and mycotoxins build up in our homes over time, and why common approaches such as bleach and surface cleaning often fail to resolve the issue.

This episode is not about fear or extremes. It’s about clarity, practical understanding and informed choices — helping listeners better understand their homes and how to create healthier living environments.
A must-listen for homeowners, renters, landlords, designers, health practitioners and anyone interested in the intersection between housing, health and wellbeing.
