tboyce Report post Posted July 11, 2015 I had a friend send me a picture of her father's leather case for his old movie camera. The case was in a basement for a few decades and now it has mold on it. Anyone know a trick for cleaning it? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NeoWolf Report post Posted July 11, 2015 I do not know how it would affect the leather but a mild bleach solution should kill the mold and clean it off. Its what I used to use when I was painting and we cleaned decks off but we would mix 50/50. Just a thought. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChriJ Report post Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) They can wipe the mold and mildew off with a damp cloth then use a water and lemon juice mixture. Chris Edited July 11, 2015 by ChriJ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TexasLady Report post Posted July 11, 2015 (edited) Along the idea of chrij, a pinch of ascorbic acid keeps mold from growing in Black Walnut Hull Tincture. I don't know what it will do to leather, but yes, lemon or ascorbic acid solution should be mold deterrents. Edited July 11, 2015 by TexasLady Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Colt W Knight Report post Posted July 12, 2015 Ive always cleaned mold off horse tack with Murphys Oil, water, and brush. I had to do this a lot in West Virginia when we ran a boarding stable. Once a year, typically. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

snapmyfengerleatherwork Report post Posted July 14, 2015 BIckmore's Bick 4 Leather Conditioner has vinegar in it. I use it it the heart of South on my horse tack with excellent results. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
