The four letter word - - - - MOLD

[isiahfan]

Leon please move if needed but I thought this might be a good spot for this and helpful to others.

I recently moved (a few years ago) and the items I had in storage for about a year recently started to show signs of mold. Mostly couches (leather/pleather), but it soon spread to other things (shoes/clothes/suitcases/bags/etc.) and even to some of the binders. It is in a couple of rooms in the house....but not awful. It is also not black mold. My concern, other than any health issues, is will it attack my cards....as it has already gotten the better of a couple of binders. I have not seen any issues so far and I try to circulate air and get sunlight into the 2-3 rooms that house most of my collection.

Almost all of my stuff is in Binders/toploaders in showboxes/sealed sets/boxes in plastic storage bins. When you have 1 million+ cards they are not going to all be sealed as such. So my questions are:

Has anyone ever dealt with this before?

What did you do to get rid of it (I do clean with alcohol and other bacteria killing cleaner at first sight) and did it work?

Has anyone every had cards that were affected?

Moving all of this isn't an options so looking for alternative suggestions.

Thanks
