Amazon shoppers are raving about the £8 purchase that will protect your clothes from mould
IF you’re constantly dealing with mold in your home, Amazon may have the answer.
Shoppers have praised a budget buy that prevents mold from forming on your clothes.
If your wardrobe is exposed to moisture for too long, your clothes will most likely become moldy.
A variety of factors can contribute to moisture in your clothes, including improper drying after washing.
Poor air circulation in your wardrobe or wherever you store your clothes can also play a role.
If you store your clothes in a dark place, they can also be susceptible to mold.
Repeatedly wearing sweaty clothes without washing is another cause of mold.
Of course, water damage can also cause your favorite things to grow moldy.
If you think any of the above conditions may apply to your bedroom, or if you simply notice that your clothes smell less fresh, a budget purchase can help.

What is mold and how do you get rid of it?
Mold is likely to grow during the winter months.
Olivia Young, product development scientist at Amaze revealed exactly why this is.
“Unfortunately, mold is a common problem that many people face in the winter. Mold thrives in warm and moist conditions, so your bathroom is probably the most affected area.
“That said, most rooms in your home can be vulnerable to mold growth during the colder months.
“This is mainly due to condensation that builds up on your windows when you have radiators on.
“If you think about it, if the windows and doors are closed, there isn’t much chance for the air to circulate and for the moisture to come out quickly.
“This buildup is the cause of the dreaded mold, especially in bathrooms, as it creates a warm and wet environment that is a breeding ground for mold.
“If left untreated, it is not only unsightly, but can also pose a serious risk to your health, so it is very important that you treat it.
“The key to tackling mold is to act quickly.
“Try to come into contact with it as little as possible. So grab your gloves, tie your hair and get to work removing any signs of mold as soon as you notice them.
“To keep mold at bay, there are some simple solutions you can apply throughout your home.
“The first is to keep the bathroom ventilated. Yes, even in the cold winter months, try leaving your bathroom window open for at least 10 to 15 minutes after showering or bathing. This will quickly remove excess moisture and prevent mold from forming.
“If you have repeated problems with mold in a particular room, it may be that the humidity is too high. You can purchase a dehumidifier which will keep levels down and reduce the risk of mold returning.
“The golden rule to remember when dealing with mold is: the sooner you can treat it, the better. Leaving it alone will only make it worse, so never ignore it!
“To successfully get rid of mold every time, I recommend opting for the UK’s number 1 mold and mildew removerthat effectively removes mold and mildew stains almost immediately, without scrubbing.”
