How Does the DD36 Work?
The DD36 operates through continuous, natural air circulation:
- Gently warms the air inside large wardrobes or storage spaces
- Creates slight positive air pressure as warm air expands
- Pushes out stale, damp air while fresh, dry air replaces it
- Reduces humidity below mould-forming levels (typically under 60–65% RH)
No need for sealed cupboards — simple top and bottom ventilation is sufficient.

Why Mould Grows in Larger Wardrobes & Storage Spaces
- High humidity in Australian homes and storage areas
- Poor air circulation in enclosed spaces
- Cool surfaces where condensation occurs
- Fabric, leather, timber, and valuables absorbing moisture
Humidity over ~60% RH allows mould, mildew, and musty odours to develop. The DD36 stops this at the source.
Suitable Applications
- Large wardrobes & walk-in robes
- Linen cupboards & pantries
- Under-stairs or larger storage areas
- Gun safes & firearm cabinets
- Leather storage: bags, jackets, shoes
- Classic cars & garages
- Boats, caravans & motorhomes
- Library archives, books, and document storage
