Mold/Mildew on Leather

[lugerholsterrepair]

Susan,Pete, Thanks for the input! I am not positively sure...It's a guess to be honest.It has seemed to work but I guess subsequent storage conditions might play a part as well.

I agree with you about the nature of these spores, that they may be impervious to these methods to kill them because of hibernation qualities.(encapsulate) I wish I knew more about microbiology.

I will inquire more about it and see if a soloution can be proposed that makes sense.

Pete, That's a good idea as well. Antifungal foot powder would be better to my way of thinking as it is dry. Also baking soda might act as a drying agent and would be harmless to the organic material. A dessicant bag could work if it were changed.

I think storage is the main thing though. If you can keep the holster from growing it to begin with you are way ahead of the game.

Same could be said of rust on guns I guess.
