We have been in our current house since December, it’s an old farming cottage, sandstone walls etc
Anyway our room has a medium sized built in wardrobe, well more of a space with a door on which is on the outside wall. I had a major clear out of clothes before we moved but it’s still quite packed in there and the room if fairly small for any more storage like drawers (already have one chest of drawers).
Today I went to get a pair of shoes and noticed a pair of sandals covered in green Mould! There is no visible signs of damp and the only other Mould are was at the back (there are two large and wide shelves) of the top shelf, a tiny area in the corner.
I open the windows every day, but have oil central heating so don’t have that running all the time, set for an hour or so in the morning, again in the afternoon and 2-3 hours evening.
I’ve done some reading and I know ventilation is a problem as well as heat so my ideas are to remove the door completely and perhaps get a strip heater for in there? I already have one of those small dehumidifiers with the block on the top that you just change when the block disappears? Although maybe I need the medium sized one. I also thought about the sachets to hand up on the rail.
Anything I can do for the shelves? It’s kind of difficult to let the air circulate just with the position of the shelves and how the clothing has to be stored on them (row of clothes at the back, row of clothes at the front)
