Prevent Mildew Damage to Fabrics and Shoes in Warm Humidity
Homemakers are urged to guard against mildew this season. Mildew forms in damp warm conditions with poor air, needs to be aired and dried before storage, and can discolor fabric but not weaken fibers. Use calcium chloride in closets, cadmium chloride spray on shower curtains, and air dry damp clothing before placing in hampers or closets.
