Points to prevent recurrence

If detergent or water remains, mold is likely to occur again, so it is important to wash it off thoroughly and dry it before returning it. It is also effective to wipe the entire product with alcohol before returning it. It is also recommended to use "Antifungal Smoke Agent" before putting back the washed apron. The smoke agent itself does not remove mold, so be sure to clean the entire bathroom before using it.
