How to Keep Your Shoes and Bags Mold-Free

Humidity, sweat, and poor storage are the main reasons why mold grows on shoes and bags, especially leather and suede items. Here at SBW Studio, we often receive mold-damaged designer items. With proper care, you can prevent this from happening. Here’s our professional guide:

🌬️ 1. Always Keep Them Dry After Use

- After wearing your shoes or carrying your bag, let them air out naturally for 1–2 hours before storing.- Never put damp shoes or bags directly into a closet or drawer.- If it rained or was humid, use a clean dry cloth to blot and absorb any surface moisture.

📦 2. Store Items the Right Way

- Avoid plastic bags for long-term storage as they trap moisture. Use breathable cotton dust bags instead.- Store shoes and bags in a cool, dry, and elevated area. Avoid the floor which collects moisture.- Use silica gel packs or charcoal dehumidifier sachets inside bags and shoes to absorb internal humidity.

🧼 3. Seasonal Tips for Humid Weather

- During humid months (or rainy seasons), rotate your items every 2–3 weeks and let them air out.- Consider using a dehumidifier in your wardrobe or shoe closet.- Place items like baking soda packs, activated charcoal, or moisture absorbers inside your storage space.
