Is the kitchen plastic storage organization suitable for use in a humid environment in the kitchen? Is it susceptible to moisture, deformation or mold?

The use of kitchen plastic storage organizations in humid environments is an important issue that many consumers need to pay attention to when choosing. The kitchen is a place with high humidity, especially during cooking, steam, oil smoke and moisture can easily accumulate, which requires the storage rack to have good moisture resistance.
The material of the plastic storage organization directly determines whether it can be used for a long time in a humid environment. Generally speaking, plastics of better quality, such as polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), have certain waterproof properties and are not easy to absorb water. Therefore, this type of storage rack can cope with the humid environment of the kitchen to a certain extent, and is not easy to deform or damage due to moisture. However, if poor quality plastics are used, there may be a problem of strong water absorption. Plastic materials that absorb water will become fragile, easy to crack, fade, and may even form mold spots or mold on the surface.
Plastic storage organizations are exposed to humid environments for a long time, and may also have odors or bacterial growth due to the influence of moisture. In particular, the gaps and corners of the storage racks are prone to accumulate moisture. If they are not cleaned and ventilated regularly, moisture is easy to adhere to the surface and breed mold. Therefore, the hygienic maintenance of the storage rack surface and stored items is crucial.
Although the performance of plastic storage organizations themselves in humid environments is relatively stable, there are still some things to pay attention to during use. First, avoid exposing the storage rack to water flow or excessive steam for a long time, and try to avoid placing it directly near the stove, sink, and other places where water is easily accumulated. Secondly, regularly clean the surface of the storage rack, especially the parts that are prone to water accumulation, and keep the storage rack dry and ventilated to help prevent mold growth.
Some manufacturers will use antibacterial or antibacterial technology on plastic storage organizations to make their surfaces more mold-resistant. Such storage racks can reduce the risk of mold when used in humid environments. If the budget allows, choosing these plastic storage racks with mold-resistant functions will greatly improve their service life and hygiene.
Kitchen plastic storage organizations can be used in humid environments. As long as high-quality materials are selected and properly maintained, they can better cope with the challenges brought by kitchen humidity. However, if the storage rack material is poor, or lacks good cleaning and maintenance, long-term use may cause plastic deformation, mold and other problems.
