Subject: Mold in rubberized fabric
We have received a world war II-era Civil Defense medical kit. It included a piece "Synthetic Rubber Sheeting." The item has mold on it. The mold is a white talcum powder appearance. We have frozen it for an extended period of time at -55 Deg C and vacuumed the sheeting. What do you recommend to clean off the remaining mold?
