| Sep 10, 2019 at 15:58 | comment | added | user5572 | To be clear, "I have never seen white mould" on non-food material. Mould and fungus comes in all sorts of interesting colours, but the typical household mould related to humidity where I live is the black stuff. Things might be different in Mumbai, of course. Depending on how new this furniture is, this might just be water activated polyurethane glue reacting to higher humidity. There is no way to tell from the photos. | |
| Sep 10, 2019 at 15:51 | comment | added | RajS | whatever it is, will it damage the furniture in long run to greater extent (given that, as I said, after cleaning it, furniture look absolutely intact) For idea about general climate here, I live in Mumbai. | |

| Sep 10, 2019 at 15:35 | comment | added | user5572 | @T.M.running the exhaust won't make a difference if the RH of the rest of the house is as high. I have never seen white mould -- usually mould abatement is for the black stuff. It could be a fungus, which is splitting hairs given how mould is basically the same kingdom. I suppose this could be some specific fungus/mould that is eating the glue that was used for the veneering. I know that most modern glues are made not to support this sort of growth, but it used to be a problem. | |
| Sep 10, 2019 at 14:59 | comment | added | T. M. | @jdv I disagree that it’s not mold. Even if it’s not, It’s still almost certainly related to the higher humidity. Running the exhaust fan more should help though it shouldn’t need to be kept on all the time. I agree it’s off topic here and will probably be closed. | |
| Sep 10, 2019 at 13:56 | comment | added | user5572 | Probably not mould, and maybe related to you using this room as a drying room. But without knowing the relative humidity of the rest of the dwelling, and your general climate it's hard to speculate. This is probably off-topic for WW.SE, unfortunately. Maybe a more immediate forum like Reddit might help? | |
