Mold found in accessories is not uncommon. Transit times for accessories from overseas factories can range from four to six weeks. The Asian monsoon season, warm temperatures, high humidity and lack of environmental control can cause mold spores to incubate and then spread across your shipment as your freight travels to the U.S.
Every shipment has its own unique set of challenges and result-driven process to be determined upon arrival at one of our facilities. In the case of mold and mildew, if merchandise is not examined and addressed quickly, development of “organic growth” or mold can leave remnant stains and unpleasant odors on your accessory products such as handbags, wallets, belts, gloves, hats, purses, backpacks and more.
QCI has specialized in high-volume mold remediation for nearly 40 years. Our service approach to each project will generally consist of a project evaluation, a cleaning and treatment process and utilization of best practices in the repackaging phase.
Don’t let the presence of mold and mildew on imported accessories ruin a shipment and create the need for a costly replacement. Contact the mold remediation professionals at Quality Corrections and Inspections for a free, no-obligation project analysis right away.
