    Get rid on mold in closets
    I live in Southern CA, 2 blocks from the beach, in a home at was built in 1960, with no insulation and louver windows. I have mold on all my leather shoes and purses that are stored in my closets. How can I get rid of the mold, prevent it from coming back and clean it off my leather items?

    Go to Concrobium's website and read all about it. I think it's what you need... besides windows and a way to reduce humidity in your home. :D

    Jaz is correct, damp wipe the mold off the leather and use concrobium to kill it. In order to prevent it, you need to decrease humidity in the closet area. You can do this by running a dehumidifier in the area, also air needs to circulate in the area. Damp stagnate air will promote mold.
