Mold Prevention Tips for the Humid Season｜mini storage
Hong Kong’s weather is humid and changeable. During every "humid return" season, moldy clothes, damaged collectibles, and short-circuited electronics are constant headaches! Want to survive this "damp" season with peace of mind? One Storage presents your complete guide to moisture-proof storage!
Pack up valuables in advance for mini-storage:
Before the "humid return" season (回南天) arrives, transfer infrequently used collectibles, important documents, and high-end clothing to a mini-storage. Professional mini-storages are equipped with temperature and humidity control systems, blocking external moisture to provide a dry, safe environment—safeguarding items from damage or devaluation caused by humidity. For moisture-sensitive collectibles like calligraphy, paintings, or stamps, a mini-storage is undoubtedly the perfect "safe haven."
Seal and store clothing early:
Store current-season clothing in sealed bags or vacuum-compressed bags, and place dehumidifier boxes or desiccants in wardrobes. If you have too many clothes, store temporarily unused items in a mini-storage to reduce home clutter and prevent mildew or odors. Add camphor wood balls to wardrobe corners to repel insects and aid in moisture prevention.
Keep electronics safe and dry:
Place unused electronics (e.g., cameras, computer accessories) in sealed boxes with electronic moisture-proof beads. Rent a small mini-storage unit to store electronics securely, avoiding short circuits from humidity. Before storage, thoroughly clean and power off devices to prevent static electricity from attracting moisture.
Use moisture-proof pads:
Place moisture-proof pads under furniture like beds and sofas to block ground dampness. For large furniture, if home space is limited, store it in a mini-storage and retrieve it after the humid season. Choose thick, waterproof pads for optimal moisture resistance.
Keep windows closed:
During the humid return season, keep south- and east-facing windows closed to block warm, moist air. For ventilation, open windows briefly on sunny, dry days or use a dehumidifier to assist airflow. Install double-glazed windows to enhance sealing and reduce moisture infiltration.
Use mini-storage for seasonal items:
Store thick winter clothes, quilts, etc., in a mini-storage to free up home space and keep items away from humidity. When the season changes, they’ll remain clean and tidy. Add desiccant packs to storage boxes and label items clearly for easy access.
Hang dehumidifying bags:
Hang dehumidifying bags in damp areas like bathrooms and kitchens to absorb moisture. Keep these spaces ventilated and dry to avoid water accumulation. Place bags inside cabinets or bathroom corners and replace them regularly for effectiveness.
Use a dehumidifier:
Buy a dehumidifier with suitable power, running it regularly based on indoor humidity to lower moisture levels. In large spaces where dehumidifiers are less effective, store some items in a mini-storage to reduce 防潮 (moisture-proofing) pressure. When using, manage the dehumidifier’s drainage to prevent bacterial growth from standing water.
Keep floors and surfaces clean:
During the humid season, wipe away water droplets on floors and walls promptly to prevent mold. Regularly clean the house, declutter, and maintain good ventilation. Use mold-resistant cleaners on furniture and walls to further prevent mildew.
In Hong Kong’s humid return season, relying solely on dehumidifiers or sealed windows can ease dampness, but it’s limited for protecting valuables or large quantities of unused items. Mini-storage, with its professional storage environment and flexible space options, tackles moisture problems at their core. Whether preserving valuable collectibles or storing seasonal items, it offers stable, secure storage. Choosing a mini-storage means building a robust moisture barrier for your belongings—saying goodbye to damage worries in changeable, humid weather.
