  1. Thanks for the feedback. I cleaned everything, looks good, no spots, perfect for new uses. This time i'm letting them more moisturized, guessing it's for the best. About that humidity, things don't look good... Unfortunately the place is bad... I now have the leather sealed in plastic. Are those large silica bags bad to keep near the leather? I'm talking about 20 inches, or something like that, away from the sealed leather. But i'm worried they might be too powerful and dry everything... There might be a leak somewhere, i don't want to have bad surprises.
  2. I'm cleaning some veg-tan leather with mildew on it, at this moment. I usually wash the leathers with some cleaning products someone recommended me, and they look like new in the end. Even as a final product. It recovers that regular veg-tan look, semi-shiny, without spots, clean and above all: workable. So, i'm pleased with the cleaning technique i found. Seems to get rid of the mildew, even if it's technically temporary, as it's still microscopically there. Fine by me, as long as it does not show up again as a product. But i really hate to see the mildew showing up from time to time, on the unused batch of leather. It scares me a bit. I mean, i'm worried for the integrity of the leather, mildew, cleaning, mildew, cleaning... How do you guys usually store the leather? Can we really store the leather in air-tight environments, like johnv474 suggests? Isn't that worse, as the leather does not breathe? I want to store it properly too. Appreciate your help.
