Hello everyone,
I have a somewhat specific question: Are there any reliable tricks or methods to prevent mold growth in a Kallax shelf?
The shelf is placed in a rather damp room, and despite regular ventilation and cleaning, small mold spots occasionally appear, especially in the lower compartments. This is not only unsightly but also damages the stored items.
I have considered whether the material or air circulation might be the cause. I’m interested in practical tips, such as the best way to position the shelf, whether special protective treatments can be used, or how to effectively reduce moisture inside the shelf.
Maybe someone has experience with Kallax or similar shelving units placed in damp environments and can offer targeted advice. Thanks in advance for your feedback!

I wonder, though, if that is really sufficient when the humidity remains high.Exactly, that is the key point. Without a permanent reduction in indoor humidity or an improvement in wall insulation, all measures will only have a temporary effect.

Small electric dehumidifiers are helpfulI agree, but it is important to ensure that the overall indoor climate is improved. Otherwise, the moisture will just condense elsewhere eventually.
I completely understand your concern; mold can be really challenging, and it often feels like you have no control over it.
Maybe it could help to avoid stacking items directly on top of each other on the shelves and to check them more frequently.
This brings me to the feeling that sometimes you just need patience and a combination of several approaches.
Keep at it, you’re not doing anything wrong with your considerations 🙂
