Is there anyway to save my collection from this crap, with destroying the books? ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507765/5288700.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507765/5288700.page GMT

and whwn you handle them, use gloves and some sort of air filter, better than the paper ones people think protects them from the flu.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507765/5288701.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507765/5288701.page GMT
To clean the area -
First vacuum the area with a HEPA vacuum cleaner.

Clean the area with the borax solution and a brush.

Wipe the area with a shammy dampened with the solution.

Allow to dry

Borax is a mold inhibitor - this should prevent the mold from coming back.

And, incidentally, adding borax to white glue turns it into this wonderful goop....

I'd be checking to make sure there wasn't water getting to them in some other way like from a damp wall/floor]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507765/5289980.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507765/5289980.page GMT
I would still recommend getting rid of the damaged books. No matter how lovingly you scrub the pages, the books are still ruined.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507765/5290247.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/507765/5290247.page GMT
