I've got a frame that gets full of mold (against the wall and inside the glass) due to humidity. What to do?

Question

It's a picture, paper inside a frame hanging on a wall. Is there something I can spray on it? or any suggestion?

I clean it every once in a while, but I don't want it happening anymore...

Answer 1

See what you can do about controling the humidity in the house. Do you have a dehumidifier? Is that something you can get? Also - make sure to run your fans when cooking and taking showers, as these things can cause more humidity. On to the picture!! Is it a very important picture to you? The best thing you could do is take it to a professional framer, like at JoAnn's or Michaels, and tell them your problem. They might know what exactly is the problem, like the frame or the backing paper or what not. I might need to be reframed in a better frame with a backing paper on it and a tighter fit in the frame.
