For those who don't have a home office where they can store their filing cabinets, many people will instead resort to leaving essential papers in a filing cabinet in the garage, attic, or basement, which aren't the ideal spots to keep papers. These rooms are prone to receiving unexpected water damage if your house leaks, floods, or has high humidity. And when exposed to moisture, mold spores grow on your important papers thanks to its wood pulp — the soft, wet material used to make it. When wet paper sits in a box for weeks, mold spores start growing and feeding off the paper, producing and spreading even more mold.
If there isn't another space outside of your attic, garage or basement to store your filing cabinet, occasionally use a dehumidifier in these rooms to minimize the water molecules in the air. Keep papers in metal cabinets rather than thin boxes, and remember to close the cabinet after adding new files.
