Almost daily, we are asked this question, accompanied by photos of damaged bags with mould and mildew - this can be avoided!
Picture this... You've kept your favourite handbag stored away, you go to pick it up and it's covered in mould (mold)! But before you panic... We have a bundle and top tips to stop this from happening to your gorgeous handbag collection!
We've put together this blog to help you both prevent & treat your favourite accessories, if you live in a humid climate - this is a must!
Our Antibacterial Cleanser was the very first Cleanser we launched, and it continues to be a best seller to this day, and there are so many reasons why!
Not only will our Antibacterial Cleanser safely kill bacteria on your handbags, it can also help to remove any mould & mildew whilst also acting as a preventative.
We recommend applying this with our Application Mitt, followed by storing our Pursefume Capsules on the interior of your bag to remove moisture and release a gentle fragrance.
It can be used on both the exterior and interior of your accessories!
Alongside our Antibacterial Cleanser, here are a few of our other top tips if you'd like to prevent mould (mold) on your handbags & accessories:
- Always ensure your accessories are bone dry before storing - whether you have cleansed or not, we would always keep our accessories in a dry, safe place overnight before storing away
- Always ensure the location you store your accessories in is clean, dry & away from direct sunlight
- If you choose to keep your accessories in their dust bags, ensure this is a breathable fabric such as cotton
- Our Pursefume Capsules are also perfect to store inside your handbags, not only will they help absorb excess moisture, they also leave a gentle fragrance - You can shop these here.
PS... Mould is how we spell Mold here in the UK :)
