What is mould contamination of leather products?
Mould can easily grow on leather and textile products, and usually manifests itself after prolonged storage or shipping.
In most cases, mould is caused by more than one factor, mainly due to product handling and management failures at multiple points in the supply chain.
The damage caused to the product by mould can be substantial and with some moulds toxic to humans, it is often necessary to destroy the contaminated product.
