Having dampness in the storage room is more common than it seems, since they are places that are closed most of the year. Often the storage rooms are built on the first floor of buildings, or on top of the houses, favoring the creation of humidity especially in the cold and rainy months. Thus, we can say that humidity in storage rooms spoils everything we store, with results such as those mentioned below:
- Wood rots: it deteriorates our furniture, deforms and stains it.
- Clothes get spoiled: they also get smelly. Mold can easily grow on clothing and fabrics if there is too much moisture. Cotton garments, and other organic materials, are a great source of “food” for mold to reside in. In addition, the smell of dampness in clothes is not easily removed in the washing machine and requires time and effort to get rid of it.
- Boxes break down: mold devours cardboard boxes and then attacks everything in them, turning the stored items into spoiled or unusable products.
One of the solutions that you can look at are the rental storage rooms as they are a good alternative to the storage rooms that we have at home, as they are conditioned in the best way to avoid humidity. They have vents and air outlets that provide better storage conditions and reduce favorable conditions for the creation of humidity and mold.
