Cindy,
You will find some useful information on the NPS Conserve O Gram but you may also want to consult with a conservator before proceeding. Perhaps you could contact someone at the conservation program at Buffalo?

Hope you're able to safeguard the object.

We are having some interior spaces painted at our historic site.  In moving a closed leaf table that had been near a window and hardly ever accessed we discovered spots of mold on the leaf that had been facing the window and wall.
 
I don’t want to blindly trust the wisdom of the internet.  What source can I trust to clean the table safely?
 
It is about 200 years old, with a stain finish.
 
Thanks listers!
