Can polyester fabric be treated to resist damage from mold spores?
Polyester fabric, while durable, is not naturally resistant to mold spores. However, it can be treated to resist mold damage effectively. Treatments include applying anti-microbial coatings, using mold-resistant sprays, or blending polyester with mold-resistant fibers. Proper storage in dry, ventilated areas also helps prevent mold growth. Regular cleaning and avoiding damp conditions further enhance protection. For long-term results, commercial anti-mold treatments designed for synthetic fabrics are recommended. By taking these steps, polyester fabric can maintain its quality and appearance even in humid environments.
