Many areas are prone to dampness due to poor ventilation, leading to product mold. Mold can easily develop on items such as shoes, bags, leather goods, furniture, and leather sofa surfaces. Once mold begins to form, it can spread extensively, causing harm to human health. Many manufacturers produce products without taking anti-mold measures in advance, leaving them aside where they develop mold. This happens due to environmental factors and weather conditions. When mold is discovered, it must be addressed promptly, and preventive measures should be taken early.

For example, genuine leather and PU shoes:

1. Use a sponge or soft cloth dipped in leather care cream to wipe off mold and mildew stains.

2. For stubborn mildew stains, use color restoration cream or rejuvenating cream to restore the original color and shine.

3. If the coating on PU shoes is damaged or peeling, and color restoration cream cannot fix it, perform leather repair.

Note:

When using leather care products, test them on an inconspicuous area first. If there are no issues, proceed. Leather repair is a specialized task; improper handling may ruin the shoes.

Why does mold develop?

1. Shoes were not cleaned after wear, accumulating dirt and foot secretions, making them more susceptible to mold.

2. Damp storage environments absorb moisture from the air, creating conditions for mold growth.

3. Long-term storage without maintenance and poor ventilation.

How to prevent mold

1. Clean shoes thoroughly before storing them for long periods, and ideally place them in shoe boxes or storage containers.

2. Use shoe dehumidifiers or bamboo charcoal packs inside shoes to control humidity during storage.

3. Place anti-mold sheets or anti-mold cards in the storage environment to prevent mold growth.

4. After cleaning, treat shoes with anti-mold agents or anti-mold creams before storage to prevent mold formation.
