How to stop mold from growing on a book?
I bought a handful of books the other day, and when I got home I discovered one of them had mold on the back (It’s a hardcover). The book isn’t worth anything (and if it was, it would not be now!) but I want to read it. Aside from ripping the cover off the back, is there any way to clean the mold off so it doesn’t ruin the rest of the book?
Wipe the moldy areas down with a cloth wrung out in white vinegar. You may have to repeat this a couple times. You could also try diluted bleach, but that can be problematic. I prefer vinegar.Try not to get the book too wet but remove as much of the evident mold as possible. Dry thoroughly in a well ventilated place.There may be some discoloration but it should kill the mold and stop its progress.

Copper Blue $6.13 Bob Mould realized his career goal–a rock & roll trio like Hüsker Dü, only without another strong personality to compete with him–most completely with Sugar’s 1992 debut. It’s mixed strangely, with little bass and lots of treble, but that gives it a buzzing power, especially on heavy-guitar songs like “Hoover Dam” and “If I Can’t Change Your Mind.” By the end of “A Good Idea,” the narrator ine… |

Bob Mould Workbook $6.46 “All those things I’ve done before,” Bob Mould sings, dismissing Hüsker Dü, the band he toiled with for most of the ’80s, “it doesn’t matter anymore.” That’s partially true–Hüsker were always much more brutal than “See a Little Light,” the wistful, catchy pop song on Mould’s 1989 solo debut. But even Mould’s most introspective previous songs didn’t have quite the scab-opening quality of “Lonel… |
