CNN Central News & Network–ITDC India Epress/ITDC News Bhopal: The monsoon season is at its peak in the country. And we have seen plenty of rain this year, helping us overcome the summer heat. The monsoon never arrives by itself; it brings with it a variety of pesky issues, one of which is the development of mould or fungus on clothing.
Check again if you believe you have been storing your clothes neatly in a cupboard. The ideal conditions for the growth of fungus include muggy, hot weather, which is what happens during the monsoon season. Fungus, which resembles a white, powdery substance with black patches, may readily develop on damp and moist clothes.
Because of the high humidity in the air during this weather, garments do not always dry completely after washing. This means that the clothes you iron and fold to put in cabinets are actually damp, making them vulnerable to the growth of moulds. Clothing made of cotton in particular provides an ideal environment for the growth of fungi. So here are some of the tips to follow to prevent mould and fungus in any of your personal stuff lying around in the house.
