Mold on sound recordings

From: Deborah Rohan <*county.records.cambridge<-a*> Date: Friday, January 10, 1997 · county.records.cambridge<-a

A collection of vinyl LPs were improperly stored for some time.
Their owner has moved them to a more suitable environment, but has
found that small specks of mould growth are making some of them
unplayable. These are probably dormant remains of growth from the
previous store. What is the best method of cleaning spores etc. from
the grooves of an LP without damage to the grooves? Are they likely
to recover?
