Moisture mold is impregnated deteriorating the textile fibers of the clothes and generates a bad smell

How to prevent condensation on fabrics with the help of a dehumidifier

Not only a rarefied environment with an atmospheric saturation inside the house, it is detrimental to walls and surfaces; This excessive moisture will permeate and project onto other valuable objects, such as anything

made with wood, and onto the clothing itself. That’s right, precious outfits and costumes can suffer the ravages of humidity, if we do not take into account the climatic factors in our own home.

We are not only talking about the potential appearance of the fungus on fabrics, but the possible presence of critters that damage clothing in important ways, such as termites and mosquito waste and even cockroaches.

Any season is suitable for atmospheric saturation conditions to be created at home or office, depending on the region. Commonly this problem arises in summer, in the rainy season, however, in some areas wet winters could occur, due to the same effect of snow and thaw in December times.

How to control humidity in closets or wardrobes?
