Apparently, it would mold on the shelf with starch or not. That's a real problem. I remember taking clothes that weren't worn in a long time out of the closet and finding white mold on it. A little bleach in the wash water took care of that. I have also found a white coating on things like leather handbags and luggage. I suppose the lesson here is don't have more in your house than you can make use of continually. Sometimes humidity hits us here in Wisconsin, too.
