If you are intending to safely store your family heirlooms or any other items outside your house, in a basement, roof space, spare room or store room, the last thing you would like to find is mould.
Mould develops slowly but gradually over time and can thrive in areas which are out of sight. Mould can ruin clothes, books, furniture, and anything porous. Kleen Slate Services offer professional mould removal services in Perth.
Consider an orderly and organised strategy to prevent mould growth in your storage units:
Remove the source of the mould
A professional mould removal company like Kleen Slate Services are experienced professionals who can easily detect and eliminate the root cause of the problem and offer preventative steps for future mould growth.
Desiccants
Desiccants are used to keep products dry by absorbing moisture from the air and thereby reducing the humidity in a sealed container.
Regular inspection
This is especially important if you are planning to maintain storage for a longer period. Doing so prevents mould from spreading before the problem becomes too big to control. Kleen Slate Services is your mould review expert, as mould growth can be hard to recognise without a trained eye.
Store items dry
Make sure that the items you are storing aren’t damp. Sterilise and dry items beforehand if possible. Ensure clothing items are dry before placing them in a storage container.
Select your containers wisely
Although you might score points for being eco-friendly by using boxes (or second-hand boxes), they might not be the ideal choice. For example, when preserving books or art, it is ideal to utilise watertight containers such as plastic containers with an airtight seal.
Ventilation
Ventilation to the area is vital, open doors and windows where possible. Make sure to leave space between containers. Also, try to avoid putting boxes directly onto concrete flooring. Concrete is porous, and moisture can be lurking underneath. Consider placing storage containers on shelves where airflow is possible underneath.
