      Moisture-proof clothing 1: Storage skills.

      For clothes placed in the wardrobe, do not pile them up in piles. It is best to hang them one by one to allow the clothes to breathe and prevent them from getting moldy. It is best to hang the moisture-proof agent about 10 cm above the clothes so that its active ingredients can fully evaporate and achieve the best effect. At the same time, during the rainy season, you should open the closet door as little as possible to prevent the highly hygroscopic cotton, linen, silk, wool and other fabrics from becoming mildewed. On days when the weather is nice, open the closet door as soon as possible to let the clothes“ healthy breathe".

      Moisture-proof clothing 2: Wash thoroughly.

      The basis for preventing moisture and mildew is to wash the clothes, especially the collars, cuffs, bag openings and other parts. If they are not cleaned thoroughly enough, they will become a breeding ground for bacteria, leading to mold and hair growth. Some people are used to putting clothes that have been worn once or twice into the closet, thinking that the clothes don't look dirty anyway and don't need to be washed. In fact, such clothes are most likely to get moldy, and the remaining oil stains and sweat stains are easy for mites to grow. Therefore, to deal with mildew, the first step is to remove stains thoroughly and clean them thoroughly. Washed clothes can be dried in a dryer, or blown with an electric fan or hair dryer, and then hung to dry.

      For example, fur coats are most afraid of moisture during wearing and storage, especially when the leather panels are exposed to water. They are prone to mildew, rot, and lint loss, and even the slightest impact will cause the leather panels to harden. Therefore, once fur clothing gets damp, wipe off the water with a dry cloth in time, then place the clothing in a dry and ventilated place to dry, and use a soft brush to smooth the fluff, so that the fur clothing can be restored to its original appearance. Remember not to use fire or iron to prevent the leather board from shrinking, hardening, or even cracking.

      Moisture-proof clothing 4: Remove mildew spots.

      Cotton clothes: You can use a few mung bean sprouts to rub the moldy spots repeatedly, and then rinse them with clean water. The moldy spots will be removed. If there are signs of yellowing on the clothes or sheets, you can apply some milk, put them in the sun for a few hours, and then wash them again.
