<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kathy Anderson, post: 1487532, member: 10843&quot;]As an &quot;oldster&quot; have learned from an archaeologist that fungi spores die in rubbing alcohol fumes.&nbsp; They use it in archival boxes and displays.&nbsp; But, you have to be very careful with it.&nbsp; E.g., it will turn sterling black, it will ruin silk &amp; rayon threads to a certain extent, ruin pearls, some glass, etc., etc., etc.&nbsp; Experience tells me the worse the &quot;infection,&quot; the longer to keep the cloth exposed to the fumes and that may require &quot;retreating.&quot;&nbsp; </p><p>I use it two ways: spray the alcohol outside above the cloth and let the fumes fall down and then bag it for awhile, or, spray a bit of rag and put it in an air-tight bag with the cloth, but not touching it.&nbsp; It depends on how &quot;bad&quot; the infection is.</p><p>Am sure there are lots of other ways, but this is the most effective for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
