Mold Growth On Garments

Posted by mbl on December 14, 2009 · Leave a Comment 

Question: What can we do to rid our factories of mold or to prevent mold from forming? Some of our garments are coming in from Bangladesh with visible mold that seems to be forming/growing while in-transit? 
   
Answer: The best way to control mold growth on garments is to keep the garments dry. You may have to ask your suppliers in Bangladesh to use packaging that would minimize chances of the garments becoming damp during transit. Also ensure that your storage conditions are not favourable for microbial growth.
