Mold bags are mainly caused by environmental factors and improper daily maintenance. First of all, a humid environment is a breeding ground for mold. In the rainy season in the south or in a space with high humidity for a long time, bags are prone to moisture, which in turn triggers the growth of mold. Secondly, the stains, grease and other substances left on the surface of the bag also provide nutrients for mold. For example, when we use bags daily, the grease on our hands, the residue of cosmetics, etc. adhere to the surface of the bag. If it is not cleaned in time, it is easy to become a condition for mold to breed. In addition, improper storage methods are also an important reason. Placing bags casually in unventilated corners or with other items that are prone to mold may increase the chance of bag mold.
