Antifungal treatment
Stopping mould, cleaning the affected areas safely, then understanding and treating the cause.
Fluffy stains, a cellar smell, black or coloured spots: mould attacks paper, parchment and bindings, and it can be a health hazard.
What not to do
- Do not brush or blow on mould: you spread the spores.
- Do not store the object with other documents.
- Isolate it in a box or an envelope, somewhere dry, and contact me.
How I work
- I first check whether the mould is active or inactive, and how far the damage goes.
- I work with suitable protection to remove the spores and clean the affected areas.
- A treatment suited to the object stops the activity; the stains left by the mould can then be reduced.
Treating the cause
Mould comes back if its environment does not change. I help you find the cause: damp, ventilation, storage place. See also preventive conservation.
