Mildewed Leather
Dear Aunt Daisy, * I-wonder if you could help me with the following problems? I have a white pigskin belt which has become discoloured, Please could you tell me of something to clean it? I have some books which are bound with a lovely leather, but the leather has started to mildew. Could you tell me of some way to remove it and stop it coming again? "Please could you help me with these problems through The _ Listener?-
Corolu
Birkenhead.
I think the pigskin belt could be cleaned quite well with ordinary white shoe-cleaner. Try that, and let us know the result. For the leather binding, you
could rub in a little neatsfoot oil, very caretully. 1 have been told by a librarian that this preserves leather-binding; and I hope it will arrest the mildew. You must have your bookcase in a damp place, I think. Could you change the position? ©
