>Pat Pat, Thanks very much for mentioning this. Another member also mentioned chlorine dioxide in a private email, but my impression this was only used in large-scale industrial applications where the appropriate safeguards were employed. Your mention of the word "packets" did the trick. You got my attention, and I started googling to see if this has any effect on spores. One of the first hits was a paper titled "Removing Mold from Books and Papers", at <http://howtodothingsright.com/blog/2009/09/removing-mold-from-books-and-papers/> Sure enough, it solved the problem. This is interesting. I'll see if I can find some packets and try them. Thanks to you and my private emailer, you may have come up with an easy solution that I can implement right away. Thanks!
