Closet Mold

Homeowners sometimes find that their closets become a source of mold and mildew.Moisture can come from many sources. Even wet or damp clothing can be a water source.

Here are a few tips to prevent closet mold:

• Be sure any clothes, linens or towels are completely clean and dry before storing them.

• Leave space around stored clothing allows more air to circulate. Do not pack clothes too tightly.

• Leave the closet door open when possible. 

• Wire shelving provides greater air circulation than solid shelves.

• Keep your items off the floor to keep moisture from appearing underneath them. Hang the clothes or keep them in boxes.

• Air out your closets occasionally by clearing them out and washing any clothing.
