Hello guys, I need help.
I have a really small apartment, with 1 shelf for clothes. That being said, I am afraid to use it.

When I fill it up, it becomes a mold magnet. I know, that I can kill it off with Savo, but it get this bad back in a single year.

Any advice, what to do, so I won't have to clean this next year again?

@LukeAlmighty well, as fire is obviously not the answer; try to dry air inside by using stuff like silica gel packs or charcoal, and make sure that the clothes is completely dry when you put it in and not infected with mold

Let's not jump to any conclusions...
I like to not cross any option out too early.

@LukeAlmighty @tomie Outside wall too cold. Inside air too damp. Water beading on the wall every day probably.

Choices are get rid of water in the air, heat the entire wall up, insulate the wall or paint the wall with anti mold paint.

1. Rip the cupboard door off. Keeping it closed means the wall will never dry. Dehumidifier if free electricity

2. Heating probably out of the question

3. Buy good water tight insulation that bonds directly to plaster. No beading if warm air dont touch wall

4. Live with the water but paint the war with toxic paint. (Cheapest, ask for samples to match color, must be anti mold/moisture)
@IAMAL_PHARIUS @LukeAlmighty @tomie second the humidifier. Get a cheap one for the room with the issue and leave it on. They don't consume a lot of electricity and work well in a closed space.
@IAMAL_PHARIUS @LukeAlmighty @tomie There may be a leaking pipe somewhere on the inside of the wall if it's made of bricks.
Clothing may be speeding mold growth due to humidity retention, but the problem ain't technically there
