Prevent Mildew
By Taking Steps
To Meet Threat
Anyone who has had
clothing damaged by mildew
will agree that precautions
against it happening
again are well worth taking.
Molds causing mildew
have a liking for moisture,
darkness and warmth, says
Judy Walker, extension
clothing specialist at North
Carolina State University.
Unfortunately, clothing
stored during muggy summer
weather is a perfect
setting for mold growth.
Cleanliness, good ventilation
and a dry atmosphere
are effective weapons
against closet mildew. Because
soil on clothing can
supply nutrients for molds,
clothing should be thoroughly
washed or dry cleaned
before storing.
Clothes should be hung as
loosely as possible to permit
air to circulate.
Shoes, suitcases and other
leather goods should be
stored on shelves.
Chemicals to dry the air
can also help combat
mildew. Silica gel, activated
alumina and calcium chloride,
often sold under trade
names, help control growth
by absorbing moisture from
the air.
Silica gel and activated
alumina are not harmful to
fabrics and can be hung in
cloth bags in closets, placed
in open containers on closet
floors or spread in the folds
of clothing.
Calcium chloride can be
placed in open containers in
closets. However, it should
not come into contact with
fabrics since it can make
holes in them.
Paradichlorobenzene,
often used for moth control,
also controls mildew, but
since it damages some
plastics, you should remove
buttons, ornaments and not
use plastic hangers if you
use this compound.
Electric fans will help to
keep air circulating around
your clothes and an electric
bulb burning in a small
closet will prevent the
darkness molds like.
