Answers:
(1) Washing with bleach, drying thoroughly, storing in a dry environment. If you experience difficulties drying your laundry properly, iron it until fully dry.
(2) & (3) Get a dehumidifier. They are available at home improvements stores or stores like Sharper Image
(4) Air the room regularly, use a dehumidifier. Use airtight containers for fully dry clothes to avoid getting them humid again.
In all cases: Try to find the source for the humidity and remove it.
If the source is leaking plumbing get the plumbing fixed.
If the source is ground water in your basement find out the cost and work involved in sealing your basement properly.
get a de-humidifier, they take the mosture out of the air and collect it for you. Hard to find, but work great.
Since mildew spores are almost always present, the three
best ways to control mildew growth are to eliminate the source
of food, deprive the mildew of sufficient moisture, and/or to
keep the temperature too low for fast mildew growth (below
77 oF).
Many materials in homes provide a ready source of nutrients that mildew can feed upon. Mildew can feed on natural fibers used in clothing and furnishings, paper materials
that have not been treated, and glues such as those sometimes
used in book bindings, starch left in clothing, and
materials in some grout.
Some other materials such as ceramic
tile, glossy paint, and glass do not support mildew growth
when they are clean. However, the slightest amount of soil on
their surface will supply the necessary nutrients for mildew
growth. The organic residue of some soaps left on shower
stalls and shower curtains provide the required nutrients for
mildew growth. Smoke and volatile cooking oils also settle on
walls and furnishings to provide a soil on which mildew will
grow.
Walls, closets, basement areas, clothing, and other textiles
where mildew is likely to grow should be kept clean.
In small, enclosed areas where temperature and humidity
cannot be controlled by air conditioning or dehumidifying,
desiccants can be used. Desiccants are materials such as silica
gel or alumina that can be placed in an open container and used
on the floor or a shelf of a closet.
The closet door should be kept closed when using desiccants. These materials absorb moisture up to half of their weight. Once they become saturated they will still feel dry, but will remove no more moisture. To be used again desiccants must be heated in a
vented oven at 300 oF for several hours. They will then be dry
and can be cooled and replaced in the closet to continue
removing moisture.
Calcium chloride granules also can be used to remove
excess moisture from an enclosed area. Granular calcium
chloride can hold twice its weight in water. As it absorbs
water, it liquifies and cannot be reused. The granules should
be placed on a screen over a container that can catch the liquid
as it forms. Calcium chloride will damage fabrics with which
it comes in contact. Calcium chloride is sometimes combined
with other materials to keep it from liquifying as it absorbs
moisture. Follow package instructions when using.
Commercial fungicidal products in pressurized cans provide
some mildew protection. Check the label on the container
to see what it claims to do and for instructions on how
to use it safely and effectively.
Water-repellent and soil-resistant spray treatments inhibit
mildew growth by reducing moisture or food available.
Carefully read instructions on the label to understand the
claims made, and to know how to use the product safely and
productively. Avoid over-wetting, which could add to the
problem.
i had to use a hair dryer on my clothes when i didnt have a dryer.
1. Once clothing is mildewed, it's impossible to get rid of it unless you can use a bleach solution in your laundry water on it.
2. If your rooms are damp, then you might need to buy and install dehumidifiers.
3. Unless you leave a light turned on in your closet (lightbulb dries air), do leave your closet doors open or install louvered doors so air can flow better
We live near the ocean so the air in our house is damper. Because of showers, baths, and drying towels, our bathroom activities generates a lot of moisture. Cooking produces additional moisture too. Currently, we have one dehumidifier upstairs placed just outside our bathroom and another one downstairs in a corner of the living room. We used to have another on in a back bedroom (decided it was unnecessary) and need one in the basement but that will have to wait until we can make space for it.
We've purchased dehumidifiers at Lowes, Sears Roebuck, Home Depot (the local one no longer carries them but will order), and were lucky enough to find a good one made in Canada at Goodwill once -- never expect to happen again though.
