  • Dry Clothes

In order for mold to develop inside your closet moisture needs to be present. One of the top causes of moisture presence within your closet is hanging up damp clothing. Always make sure your clothing is dry before hanging and putting away to prevent this from becoming a problem.

  • Keep Dirty Clothes Away

You need to keep your dirty and clean clothes separate. This means if you have dirty clothes hamper it is vital to not place the hamper in the closet. Dirty and other organic material stuck to your clothing can spread to other areas of the closet.

  • Allow Air Circulation

It is important to allow air circulation within your closet. This not only helps prevent the development of mold, but it prevents that musty smell your clothing may sometimes pick up. If your Santa Rosa home experiences high levels of humidity, there are humidity collectors made specifically for closets which hang up along with the clothing. This collects the humidity and moisture, preventing it from lingering and turning into mold.

  • Hang Everything Up

You want to hang all of your clothing up, or at the very least, fold the clothing and store it in proper containers. If you leave wet clothing on the floor, it may lead to the perfect incubation for mold to develop. Most mold develops in warm areas with moisture present and in dark spaces.
