Will my clothes go mouldy if i put them in a vacuum bag?

Question

I have had a problem with mould in my cupbaord and the clothes that havent got mouldy i want to put in vacuum bags, will this make the clothes go mouldy or not.

Answer 1

They wont go mouldy as there is no air for the mould to survive.

Answer 2

no ive got these bags. dont overfill them and the clothes will need a wash after they come out after X months

Answer 3

Hi, no it wont, nothing can live in a vacuum. However if you are having trouble with mould in your cupboard i would suggest you get a damp survey done on your dweling ASAP. there could be bigger problems than mouldy clothes.

Answer 4

no they wont, as long as they are dry.

Answer 5

That's a good question, I had the same question as I have mold problems in my basement. Here are the facts: mold needs a dark, non-circulated, damp area to survive and for mold spores to grow. I would make sure these clothes are washed clean first just incase mold spores from other clothes got on them. I had items stored in a zippered plastic bag and they got moldy inside. They were dry, but there was some air that wasn't sealed out, so that was the culprit. So vacuum all of the air out, make sure they are free of mold spores (microscopic, and you can't see them, you need to wash or clean them away), and moisture. Look into getting a dehumidifier and make sure there are no leaks in your cupboard.. sounds funny, I know, but something is causing your mold issue!

Answer 6

Only if the clothes are damp when u vacuum the bag.
