Question 1

What's the best way to store leather in Singapore?

Accepted Answer

Follow these best practices:
1. **Clean and condition** before storage
2. **Use breathable dust bags** (never plastic)
3. **Add Anti-Mould Patches** inside storage bags
4. **Keep in cool, dry location** (use dehumidifier if possible)
5. **Avoid direct sunlight** (causes fading and drying)
6. **Don't overstuff closets** (ensure air circulation)
7. **Store away from walls** (walls hold moisture)
8. **Check monthly** for any signs of mold

Question 2

Should I use silica gel packets with your anti-mould patches?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can use both together! Silica gel absorbs excess moisture while our anti-mould patches actively prevent mold growth with natural essential oils. They work through different mechanisms and complement each other perfectly. For best results:
- Place silica gel at the bottom of storage box
- Place anti-mould patch on top/middle near leather items
- Replace silica gel when saturated

Question 3

Can I prevent mould without using products?

Accepted Answer

While products help significantly, you can reduce mold risk by:
- Using a dehumidifier (keep humidity below 60%)
- Ensuring good air circulation
- Wiping down items regularly
- Avoiding damp storage areas
However, in Singapore's extreme humidity, even with these measures, we strongly recommend using protective products for valuable leather items.
