Stop mould from destroying your quality leather goods in your wardrobe!
Why is mould a problem in wardrobes and storage areas?
Mould growth is a common issue in wardrobes and storage areas, and it can cause various problems. Not only does mould create an unpleasant musty odor, but it can also damage your clothes, shoes, and other stored items. Additionally, mould can pose health risks, especially for individuals with respiratory conditions or allergies.
What causes mould to grow in wardrobes and storage areas?
Mould thrives in environments with high humidity levels and poor ventilation. Wardrobes and storage areas are often prone to these conditions, especially if they are located in damp basements or areas with limited airflow. Moisture from damp clothes, wet shoes, or even external sources like leaks or condensation can contribute to mould growth.
How can Damp Defender rods help prevent mould growth?
Damp Defender rods are an effective solution to combat mould growth in wardrobes and storage areas. These rods are designed to create warm dry air which drives moisture from the air, creating a drier environment that inhibits mould growth. By reducing humidity levels, Damp Defender rods help prevent the conditions that mould needs to thrive.
How do Damp Defender rods work?
Damp Defender rods contain a non-flammable fibre which distributes warmth evenly along the length of the rod. They produce heat up to approx 42°C producing warm air that stops the condensation of moisture from entering the contents of your wardrobe. They have a 10 year warranty.
How to install Damp Defender rods in your wardrobe and storage areas?
Installing Damp Defender rods is a simple and straightforward process. Follow these steps to effectively use them:
- Clean and dry your wardrobe or storage area thoroughly before installation.
- Choose an appropriate location for the Damp Defender rod. Ideally, it should be placed in the center or at the lowest point of the area to maximize moisture absorption.
- Remove the rod from its packaging and locate the mounting brackets & screws.
- Place the damp defender rod in the selected location, snap on the brackets ensuring it is secure and won't tip over when placed on the floor. Attach to the wall above the skirting board with the screws for secure long term installation
- Monitor the rod regularly to make sure it is not accidentally covered and there is air space around it for efficient operation
Additional tips to prevent mould growth
While damp defender rods are highly effective, there are other measures you can take to further prevent mould growth in your wardrobes and storage areas:
- Ensure proper ventilation by opening windows or using fans to improve airflow especially when the weather is fine.
- Avoid overstuffing your wardrobe or storage area, as it can restrict airflow and create pockets of trapped moisture.
- Keep your clothes and shoes clean and dry before storing them.
- Regularly inspect your wardrobes and storage areas for any signs of leaks or water damage, and address them promptly.
- Consider using moisture-absorbing products, such as E-sorb dry packs or dehumidifiers, in addition to Damp Defender rods.
