How Do You Remove Mold From Paper?
You can safely remove mold from important papers such as books, reports or documents with the proper care. Mold tends to form in humid and poorly ventilated areas. Because mold is toxic, you will need to be careful or risk getting sick. Both wet and dry mold can be removed easily with simple household cleaning supplies, but you must always ensure that you remove the mold in an open and well-ventilated environment to prevent spreading the spores in the air. Inspect the paper to determine whether the mold is dry or wet. Use a clean and soft cloth to remove dry and loose mold. Vacuum the mold off the pages with a vacuum that has a high efficiency particulate air filter when vacuuming indoors. Otherwise, always vacuum the mold outdoors with a nozzle attachment in case some spores are released into the air. Dry off any damp mold and mildew in the open air. Place the paper outside or in a window with direct sunlight for best results. Sprinkle cornstarch over the moist pages to absorb excess
