WhatsApp plus 65 6983 9523. For an exact quote in minutes, why does mold grow on wooden furniture in Singapore? Mold needs three things moisture, something to feed on, and still air. Singapore provides the moisture all year round, wood, and the glues in plywood and particle board provide the food. A closed wardrobe provides the still air. Mold spores are always in indoor air, and they only settle and spread when a surface stays damp for long enough. The usual triggers in local homes are closed-up flats, windows shut while everyone is at work, or during a long holiday, indoor laundry, clothes dried in the bedroom or service yard put more moisture into the unit, built in carpentry against external or bathroom walls, the back panel stays cooler and damper than the rest of the room. Damp items stored away, towels, gym bags, or rain wet shoes shut inside cabinets. If you can see mold on one panel, it is usually on the hidden sides too. For a single cabinet, the steps below are usually enough. If it has spread across several rooms, our professional spring cleaning service covers a whole home deep clean. Where does mold usually appear in HDB, condo, and landed homes? Mold on wooden furniture rarely starts on the front of a door, it starts where air does not move. Check these spots first. Wardrobe back panels and corners, especially wardrobes built flush against an external wall or a wall shared with the bathroom, underneath bedframes and storage beds, where the mattress or stored bedding holds moisture against the slats, kitchen base cabinets, particularly the sink cabinet, where a slow leak or condensation keeps the board damp, shoe cabinets near the main door, which keep damp shoes in a closed box, drawer bottoms and the undersides of shelves, which are often on sealed raw board. Also read, Bishon Spring Cleaning Singapore, Sureckley and the pattern changes with the type of home. In BTO and resale HDB flats, built-in wardrobes, and kitchen carpentry are the usual problem. Condo units left empty for weeks, or empty between tenants, often get mold on loose furniture as well. Ground floor rooms in landed homes tend to be damper than upper floors, so check bed frames and cabinets there more often. Is it mold, mildew, or just dust? Before you start scrubbing, check what you are dealing with. It takes about a minute. Mildew is flat, powdery, and white or gray, it sits on the surface and usually wipes off easily. Mold is fuzzy or slimy and can be green, black, blue, or white. It often grows in spots or patches that spread outwards, and it may leave a stain after wiping. Dust lies evenly across a surface, does not form spots and has no smell. The smell is often the best clue. A musty, earthy smell when you open a wardrobe usually means and that's it for today.
