This is the time of year when mould is frequently found in products sourced from overseas, particularly Asia. Climatic and transportation conditions can cause major problems with all types of product and it is important to know how to handle these problems.
A few simple facts:
- Mould will not just go away if simply wiped off a product. It is likely to keep coming back and also spread to other products with which it comes into contact, causing an even bigger problem.
- Some moulds are toxic and can pose a health risk. Always handle with care. There are many types of mould and it is important to know what you are dealing with.
- Mould is preventable
There are ways to avoid mould problems and BLC can help.
Through mould testing and mould inspections, we can identify the type of mould, the potential cause of contamination, help to prevent re-occurrence and even assess the potential for mould growth and resistance to mould. In addition, we run regular mould in leather training courses to give you the knowledge to reduce the risk of mould in your leather products.
