White Spots On Clothes In Closet

How to prevent moisture in closets.

White spots on clothes in closet.

I know everyone hates ironing but if you use a steamer or a burst of steam from your iron on the white spots on the clothes the spots do disappear. Clothes hanging do not have the musty smell even though i didn t wear them in a long time but i do get those brown spots on some white or light colored clothes on those that are hanging. Whether used for clothes linens towels or storage these tiny rooms are commonly affected by moisture and or a musty odor. Like everyone else the white spots were driving me crazy.

We also painted the closet with an anti fungal primer but the problem still persists. It can be white specks or streaks left on dark clothes or blue or green residue left on light colored clothes. One of the most commonly asked laundry questions is about visible residue left on clothes that have been freshly washed. I also going to try running white vinegar through my washing machine a couple of times to see if that helps.

Older homes often have problem closets. The musty smell does seem to only be on the folded stacked clothes that are on the shelf above the hangers in the master bedroom closet and second bedroom. It can also appear in different consistencies from velvet to slimy depending on how deeply the colony resides within its affected household surface. Here are the reasons it is happening and what you can do to stop the problem.

We have already tried to sterilize by using anti fungal cleaner on the closet walls and the hangers.
