Subject: Mold
I have 4 lithographs which have been in frames, sealed only with brown paper and with clear glass, for approximately 30 years. They have gotten mildewed. When they were first obtained, they had some mildew on them and it was somehow removed, but I do not know the method used. Does anyone know how these can be cleaned? Can they be restored? And once restored, how should they be framed? I also have a piece of embroidery which is done with silk thread on a satin type file (fabric not metal) and it also has yellow spots of mildew. It is on a clergy stole and backed with satin, which has not mildewed. I guess its age at about 25 years. Is there any way to remove the mildew without damaging the silk thread?
