What Do I Do About Mold in My Closet? | AdvantaClean

Mould infestations in closets can be unsightly, unpleasant, and potentially harmful. By taking proactive steps to prevent mould growth, you can create a healthier and more comfortable living space.

Key Tips for Mould Prevention:

  1. Keep Clothes Dry: Ensure clothing is completely dry before storing it in closets. Damp clothing provides an ideal breeding ground for mould.
  2. Store Clean Items: Only store clean items in closets. Dirt and organic matter can serve as food sources for mould.
  3. Allow Air Circulation: Avoid overcrowding closets. Proper air circulation helps reduce moisture levels and prevent mould growth.
  4. Breathable Storage: Store items in breathable packaging, such as cotton sheets, instead of sealed containers.
  5. Elevate Items: Avoid storing items directly on the closet floor. This helps prevent moisture buildup and mould growth.
  6. Use Wire Shelves: Opt for plastic-coated wire shelves instead of solid shelves to improve air circulation.
  7. Improve Ventilation: Leave closet doors open when possible, or consider replacing solid doors with louvered doors for better ventilation.
  8. Avoid Humid Areas: Minimize closet use in rooms with high humidity, such as bathrooms or kitchens.
  9. Utilize Light: Install a low-wattage light bulb in closets to generate heat and help keep the space dry.
  10. Regular Cleaning: Empty, clean, and dry closets periodically to prevent mould buildup.
  11. Address Home-wide Humidity: If you have a humidity problem in your home, consider using an air conditioner or dehumidifier.
  12. Prompt Action: If you notice musty odours or signs of mould growth, address the moisture issue immediately.
