Causes of the appearance of the odor of mold

Before removing the unpleasant odor, it is necessary to find out why the clothes began to smell uncharacteristically. There are several reasons for this:

• The appearance of a dust mite. Such a convenient place as a wooden chest of drawers is an ideal place for the life of microscopic insects.

• High humidity where garments are stored or in the room itself.
• The presence in the chest or closet of items that are not completely washed from fragrances, for example, from deodorants and / or toilet water.
• Storing on the shelves of stale clothes, smelling of sweat. It is strongly advised not to add clothes that you are still going to carry in a box with clean fabrics, because they have the property of absorbing smells. We recommend that you have a separate place to add clothes, in which you still plan to walk the next day.
• Also the unpleasant smell of mold in the cabinet can arise from storing different types of fabrics on the same shelf or hanger.
• Poor quality of the material from which the furniture is made, or its old age.

Important! Many furniture( especially wooden) itself has an unpleasant smell, which only increases with increasing humidity. Therefore, we recommend to smell it before buying a wardrobe.
