How to safely store clothes during off season and prevent mold development?
Do you live in a high humidity region? If so, do you know what's the safest way store your unused off-season clothing and prevent fungus/mold development during those off seasons when clothes are not worn?
No matter whether the climate has turned hot or cold, there will always be off season clothing stored away in the closet. But proper storage will be key the key to prevent excessive moisture from developing while sitting in the closet.
First, prior to storing the off season clothes, the clothing should be properly washed. Stains will set over time and body oils can create hard to eliminate odor if stored without cleaning.
Next make sure the clothing are properly dried to prevent any fungus pores from having any opportunity from developing when tucked away in the closet.
Fungus spores thrive in dark and humid areas and the development of the spores explodes when the humidity exceeds 65%RH. So it is crucial to keep the garment dry while in storage.
Finally make sure the seasonal clothes are stored in a proper container. Insects and pests can easily get into plastic bags and cardboard boxes, these solutions also mildew easily when exposed to high humidity.
For best results use a zip seal type bag that could maintain vacuum pressure or use Eureka Dry Tech's air tight wardrobe series auto dry box.
