In Summer time, due to humid and moisture of hot weather, mildew and mold in clothes, shoes, leather goods are in common. To prevent serious mold and mildew damages, you are recommendable to wash clothes, shoes, leather goods prior to packing services. it can reduce any possible mold and mildew damages. HOW TO PREVENT MOULD AND MILDOW We all know that mildew can be a problem in Korea, especially during our hot humid summer months. High Relocation Worldwide Inc. understands just how troublesome it can be for you valued possessions when you are contemplating a move. We fight mildew in you shipment within bags of silica gel, but here are some simple measures you can take that will help prevent this menace from your belongings, even before we come to pack!  KEEPING YOUR HOUSHOLD GOOS AND DRY As mildew thrives in a warm, moist climate, the importance of using air-conditioners cannot be emphasized enough. Cool air retains less moisture than warm air, so mildew will not flourish easily when your air conditioner is in use. In non-air-conditioned home, a dehumidifier is also extremely useful. On the Korean market a chemical de-humidifier is available. White plastic containers in various sizes with a bright pink lid are for sale in supermarkets. You can easily recognize them by the hippopotamus drinking form a straw. (Brand; Okshi Hama) An electric light may be burned continuously in closets and cupboards: the heat will prevent mildew from damaging your clothing and other items, and will also help eliminate musty odors which sometimes occur in enclosed spaces. Precaution: Be sure to place the light bulb at a sufficient distance form clothing to avoid the danger of fire.  ADEQUATE VENTILATION Ventilation is the renewing or circulation of air. These are movements are of great importance in removing excess moisture. When the air outside is drier than that inside, ventilation allows the dry air to enter, take up excess moisture, and be carried outside. When natural breezes are not sufficient, electric fans can be used. Poorly ventilated closets get damp and musty during continued wet weather; try to improve the circulation by opening the closet doors to improve natural ventilation. In addition, hang clothes loosely so that air can circulate around them.  KEEP YOUR FASRICES DRY Molds which cause mildew develop most often on cotton, line, rayon, silk, wool, leather, wood and paper. Mildew discolors your fabrics and sometimes eats into them so severely that the material simply rots and falls to pieces. Use water-repellent sprays on your curtains, upholstery, mattresses, golf bags, jackets and other outer garments. Check your shower curtains: if they are left bunched together or are stuck to the wall or tub, mildew is likely to occur.  CLEAN BEFORE STORING Please make sure to wash or dry-clean your cloth articles before storing, as soiled articles are more likely to mildew than clean ones. We recommend you inspect cotton, rayon, leather and woolen clothing stored in garment bags. Unless such materials are stored with a mildew inhibitor, they may mildew; a closed bag, dampness and hot summer weather make ideal growing conditions for molds.  MILDEW INHIBITORS Certain chemicals may be used to protect fabrics during storage. One such chemical, paradichlorobenzene, effectively controls mildew when used in packages, trunks or garment bags kept as nearly airtight as possible. This is available in spray cans and can be found at grocery stores and chemists under various trade names. In Korea “hamaroid”, plastic packs that absorb moist and bad odors, of the brand Okshi is for sale in supermarkets. These packs should be hanged between your garments.  LEATHER GOODS Protect your leather goods with polishes or sprays especially designed for leather. These solutions may be found at shoe and luggage stores. Some shoe polishes may contain both a fungicide to prevent mold growth and a wax or silicone resin to protect against perspiration and wet weather. Protect stored shoes, jackets, luggage and other leather articles with paradichlorobenzene or paraformaldehyde; warp the articles in packaged and seal them. If your luggage has plastic fittings and hanger, do not use paradichlorobenzene. Precaution; Do not inhale the mist the spray and do not use spray near flame. Flow all precautions given in the can.  YOUR PAPERS AND BOOKS In damp weather, keep papers and books as dry as possible by burning a small electric light continuously in the bookcase, with doors closed as tightly as possible, A chemical de-humidifier(the hippopotamus) will also work in a closed space.  CLOTHING AND HOUSEHOLD FABRICS Remove mildew spots as soon as they are discovered. Don’t give the mold growth a chance to weaken or rot the material. Brush off any surface growth outdoors to prevent scattering the mildew spores in the home. Sun and air fabrics thoroughly. Dry clean non-washable articles.  UPHOLSTERED ARTICLES, MATTRESSE, AND RUGS First remove loose mold form outer coverings of upholstered articles, mattresses, rugs and carpets by brushing with a broom. Try to do this outdoors if possible, to prevent scattering mildew spores in the home. Run a vacuum cleaner over the surface of the article to draw out more of the mold. Remember that the spores are being drawn into the bag of the vacuum cleaner. If the appliance has a disposable bag, remove and dispose of it immediately (if not, empty the bag outdoors in order to once again avoid scattering the spores) If mildew remains on upholstered articles or mattresses, sponge lightly with soap or detergent and wipe clean with a damp cloth. Try to let as little water on the fabric as possible so the filling does not get wet. Sponge mildewed rugs and carpets with a rug shampoo then remove the suds by wiping with a cloth dampened in clear water. Dry in the sun if possible. If molds have grown into the inner part of article, send it to a reliable dis-infecting and fumigation service. Such services are often listed under “Exterminating and Fumigation” or “Pest control” services in the Yellow Pages.  LEATHER OODS To remove mildew form leather, wipe with a solution of 1 cup rubbing alcohol to 1 cup water. Dry in a ventilated space. If mildew remains, wash with detergent, baby shampoo or a soap containing a germicide or fungicide. Then wipe with a damp cloth and dry in an airy place. Shoes contaminated with mildew on the inside often develop unpleasant odors and variously colored growths show on the inner sole and lining and up into the toe. This can be removed with a formaldehyde solution. Moisten a cotton-tipped applicator stick with the solution and swab the inside of each shoe thoroughly. Wrap shoes tightly in a paper or plastic bag and allow the formaldehyde vapors to permeate the shoe for at least an hour. Before wearing the shoes, air them thoroughly out of doors. Precaution: solution on your skin.  WOOD Use hest and improved ventilation to get mildewed wood as dry as possible. Wood that is badly infected may need to be replaced, preferably with wood that has been treated or that is naturally decay resistant. Thoroughly clean mildewed woodwork by scrubbing with a mild alkali, such as washing soda or trisodiu phosphate(4to 6 tablespoons to a gallon of water) or with disinfectants such as pentachlorophenate. Pain stores sell these products under various trade names. Rinse will with clear water and allow the wood to dry thoroughly. Then apply a mildew-resistant paint. If the mold has grown into the wood under paint or varnish, it may be necessary to scrub the wood first with an abrasive cleaner. Then wash with a solution of 4 to 6 tablespoons of trisodium phosphate and 1 cup of household chlorine bleach to a gallon of water. Finally, rinse the wood well with clear water. Day thoroughly and apply a wood preservative before repainting.  PAPER AND BOOKS Remove any dry, loose mold from paper with a clean, soft cloth. If mildewed paper is damp, dry it first in a well-ventilated place, if possible. If mildewed paper is washable, wipe it with clean wrung or thick soap-suds, then with clear water. Take care not to wet the paper any more than necessary. Do not rub it. Finally, pat dry with a soft cloth. If stains remain, bleach with a solution of a household bleach, then sponge with a cloth wrung out of clear water. For small stains, commercial ink eradicator may be useful. Spread pages of books out fanwise to air. If the books are very damp, sprinkle cornstarch or talcum powder between the pages to absorb the moisture. Leave the starch or powder on for several hours, then brush off. *Information has been supplied by the United States Department of Agriculture.
