What do you do to stop molds from coming back during rainy season?
Today, I helped my sister out with her problem. She was so desperate to see that all her leather items were covered with white molds. I did some research from the internet and watched some tips from YouTube, too. So after all those treatment, cleaning and storing we've done, I still wonder if that resolve the problem. She likes organic things but she seldom use them. I mean if I can only use them I would at least I can lessen the chance of molds from coming back but that is not the case. She works abroad and I may not be able to maintain the role of maintaining them while she is away. How do you maintain your items especially leather goods?

I think that mold is terrible and in many cases dangerous. Try to keep everything dry.

@Pulling I use electric heaters in some places and dry them before storing them. Our climate is dry and I don´t have too many clothes.

@marguicha Here in the tropics we always have 50+ outside humidity. We use blower to dry them a while back. Thank you and (Feliz año Nuevo) happy new year! I see that you are from Chile and I thought it was good to greet you in your language. I don't speak good, though, I have forgotten a lot of vocabularies already.

Mold is a constant problem, one must keep on top of it, cleaning and cleaning always.

@Pulling I had mold a lot in places..just be sure to wear a mask while you are cleaning..you do not want to inhale it..it can kill you.

If there is a leather cleaning company close to you, you should ask them about a treatment for leather items. In the US, I took a heavy leather coat to a dry cleaner and ask them to treat it for mold. Whatever they used is still working 15 years after they cleaned and treated my leather coat.
Good luck!

I hate anything going mouldy. When I find mould anywhere I spray it with white vinegar because this is supposed to be good for getting rid of it. I would not use this on food because mouldy food should always be thrown away.

When I had a mold problem I bought some spray to use on everything and used it after I first put it out in the sun which is supposed to kill the mold. I think I may still have a problem in that room so I am going to order a mold bomb and try that. It's supposed t kill all the mold. I may have to get a mold remediator to come in.
