Q: A customer has some garments that have been in storage for seven years and have a musty smell. I haven’t seen the garments yet, so I don't know if they can be wetcleaned. What would be the best way to handle them?
A: The musty odor may indicate that the garments contain mold or mildew. Inspect the garments for discoloration or damage caused by moisture or fungal growth from mold or mildew.
