A member asked:
I put pure peppermint oil in my hepa air purifier which was silly to do. i noticed after two weeks the filter smelled fairly musty and the filter started turning somewhat dark in spots. i of course tossed the filter. can peppermint oil create mold?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Oil on any surface can attract dust and dirt causing it to accumulate on surfaces not typically made for dust and dirt removal. Mold is unlikely, since peppermint oil is a mold inhibitor.
