Thanks to this crap hole we have been living in for the last 2 years with it's rising damp, I have noticed mold starting to form on the leather of my Sonus Faber Cremona's. Does anyone have tips or suggested products for effectively removing it?
I saw 50/50 metho/water mentioned, has anyone used it?
Not sure we can get ethanol as a stand alone product in Australia (only in our fuel)

Plain white vinegar works...
I'd be careful with alcohol and leather - may leech out the dyes or dry it out..

It'll probably darken it.
Could also attack any adhesive.
The vinegar smell will dissipate quickly - the tea tree, not so much. Might also leech out dye...

Take a picture - any suggestion without seeing it is just guesswork.
First thing to do is dry out the surroundings, get a dehumidifier, etc...or the mold you clean off will just regrow. Borax, vinegar and alcohol are germicidal and shouldn't bleach, but test on an inconspicuous area...
