Warm air converts to water droplets and dampens interiors and this includes fabrics
Mould is something that British households become familiar with at this time of year - but did you know that it can also appear on your clothes?
According to the specialists, using a water-repellent spray on your clothes will give them a protective, moisture, resistant later. The solution, commonly used by campers and hikers, costs just £5.33 on Amazon. Once grown, mould can be difficult to shift, as it needs to be chemically treated to stop it from returning. What's worse is you may not even realise that your clothes are riddled with spores until it's too late.
The next time you need an outfit for a special occasion, you may have to resort to footing costly dry cleaning bills to quickly remedy the problem. However there are a number of other steps you can take to keep your clothes mould and mildew free. Always avoid plastic covers as they can trap in moisture and leave your clothes smelling damp. Hang clothing in a cool, dry, clean, and dark wardrobe. If you have several outfits, ensure that you space them out evenly inside the closet to prevent creasing.
As a suit-wearer, the most important investment you can make is a suit brush. A wood-handed brush with natural bristles is the best choice.
