Hi - hoping you can help🙏🏽

I have a slight mould issue happening in my bedroom wardrobe. My house is an old Victorian and ventilation is minimal.

Recently I discovered mould building up in my wardrobe, particularly on my clothes and shoes, even in the drawers! It really only in one cupboard which is located near the window.

I cleaned it down about 3 months ago and placed a few moisture absorbers in the cupboard and one in each drawer. I can see they’ve been capturing moisture but didn’t notice any mould until I pulled out some shoes which were completely covered. Upon further inspection, most of my leather clothes were covered in green mould.

i am about to clean everything out again with vinegar and water and wait til it completely dries to add clothing back in, however I’m scared it will just return as this bedroom is particularly cold and I can feel a slight draft coming in  below the cupboard.

i have also bought some damp rid hanging absorbers to place in the cupboard. is there anything else you can suggest to help this issue??
