We have in our collection leather bridles, halters, reins, saddles,
saddlebags and so forth that have a white "bloom," which I'm assuming is
mold. It wipes clean, and I've used basic saddle soap which also removes
the film. The items are stored in a climate controlled HVAC building, but
I'm wondering if there isn't enough air circulation. Has anyone else had
this problem?
Please, no lectures about calling conservators. This is just a topic for
conservation and feedback.
Thanks.
