About

Michael Rubino is an air quality expert, environmental wellness advocate, founder, speaker, podcaster, author, father, and husband. On a mission to bridge the gap between our homes and our health, Michael put his background in construction and remediation to good use and founded All American Restoration in 2017, which ultimately became HomeCleanse, an organization that operates in 50 states. HomeCleanse provides information, services, and products to create healthier living through cleaner indoor air.

Michael is also the cofounder and chair of Change the Air Foundation, a nonprofit organization giving every person the knowledge, resources, and support to achieve better health by breathing safe indoor air through education, impacting public policy, and funding research.

Michael is a specialist in working with people who are immunocompromised or have acute and sustained reactions to mold exposure. His scientific understanding has enabled him to create change via alternative remediation protocols and treatments that provide solutions that lead to a healthy home long into the future, all through using his proprietary tried and tested HomeCleanse method.

In his decade-long career, he’s helped thousands of families each year to identify, eradicate, and detoxify their homes, potentially saving hundreds of lives in the process. So successful are Michael’s methods that he’s the trusted advisor to multiple Hollywood A-list celebrities, athletes, doctors, Fortune 100 CEOs, and medical experts across the country.

Michael is a published author with his first book selling 4,000 copies and his second book near completion. He’s an accomplished podcaster with his show Never Been Sicker educating and entertaining thousands of monthly listeners, where he hosts guests including celebrities, CEOs, doctors, entrepreneurs, and mold survivors. As a result, Michael has become one of the most in-demand subject matter experts and keynote speakers, appearing on countless television, radio, newspaper, magazine, and podcast interviews around the world.

Through HomeCleanse and Change the Air Foundation, Michael works on ensuring people are healthier through improving air quality.
