this way you can prevant
Sun: Keep your clothes and footwear out in the open when the sun is out. This will remove all the moisture from them. Also let the sun come in as much as possible; once in a while, open your doors and windows on a sunny day--this will not only act as a natural disinfectant, but will also remove the musty smell from your house.
Silica gel: People keep silica gel pouches in their cupboards or between clothes. Silica soaks up the moisture and does not allow fungus to grow on clothes.
Vinegar: Wash your clothes with vinegar. Add 3/4 cup white vinegar to a load of wash and soak your clothes in the mixture. Vinegar will remove the mold patches AND the musty smell.
Lemon and salt: Combine lemon juice and salt to make a thick paste and rub it into fungi-infested areas on clothing; wash and dry.
Hot water: This is the best way to kill mold spores, or if you have a sanitise/germ-kill setting on your washing machine, use it.
Borax: This water-soluble mineral is also a natural mold-killer, which you can buy as a detergent or in powder form. If you get it as a powder, mix with water as per the instructions on the label.
Neem: Putting a few arcs of neem stems with leaves attached in your clothes will keep the fungus away from your clothes.
Light bulb: If possible, install a low-voltage bulb inside your cupboard. It helps generate mild heat, which keeps bacteria and moisture at bay.

Answer:
During this weather, the humidity in the air is quite high, as a result of which, clothes do not dry out completely after every wash--which essentially means that the clothes you iron and fold to store in cupboards are actually damp, and thus are breeding grounds for fungus...........................
