  • Keep humidity low, use a dehumidifier if necessary.
  • Avoid temperatures above 8° during storage
  • Do not place furniture and boxes directly against the wall (do not place boxes directly on the floor).
  • Prevent high humidity with intermittent ventilation
  • Hang up damp laundry or sweaty clothes.

Good to know

By all means, clean clothing and textiles that show mildew stains very thoroughly, because moisture stains are not only an optical problem - they can cause allergies and endanger your health.
Some mildew stains are black and may form in tile joints or in silicone cracks. They can be attributed almost exclusively to the subtype “Aspergillus Niger”, the black mould. Unfortunately, there is just one remedy: Chlorine - it is aggressive but effective in this particular case.

Our Expert Tips

Always remove stains before washing. A stain that has not been treated and washed out beforehand can become permanently embedded in the fibres.

For successful stain removal, it is important to know whether a textile is colourfast or not. Therefore, we always recommend carrying out a colour fastness test.

To avoid unpleasant surprises, follow the care instructions on the label of the textiles.
