Living in the humid climate of Singapore poses unique challenges for us leather bag, shoes, and sofa owners. The high humidity can accelerate the development of mould and create a particular sticky situation if you own patent leather bags. It is no surprise then, that many of us rely on dehumidifiers like thirsty hippo when storing our bags to combat these issues.
However, before you pick up a dehumidifier on your next supermarket run, read this post and proceed with caution!
While using dehumidifiers may seem like a good idea initially, it's crucial to consider the long-term effects. Over time, the contents of these packs will turn into liquid, which can leak even with the slightest tilt. Unfortunately, a key ingredient in many of these dehumidifiers is calcium chloride which is highly corrosive and cause shrinkage and deformity if it ever gets in contact with your leather goods!
The damage caused by these corrosive chemicals can range from mild deformity and dark, irremovable stains to permanent shrinkage and hardening. It's disheartening to witness the irreversible spoiling of our precious leather products due to such accidents. We've seen our fair share of accidents, spills, and leakages to prized Chanel's, Burberry's and LV's and witnessed their owners regret and anger at such mishaps.
