Ack, Mold! What's Safe For Treatment?

[siamackz]

 

Is Hydrogen Peroxide more likely to damage typical pen materials (ebonite, plastics)?

 

Im curious too

I made a 50-50 mix of 6% hydrogen peroxide (HP) with white vinegar, and using a cottton swap I have wiped mold affected areas on different pens (including cap insides). Then I used a brush to brush out the mold. Wipe with wet cloth. Then reapply the vinegar and HP solution and let dry overnight.

 

The pens include several hard rubber pens from different periods, and also resin MBs from the 60s.

 

I cannot tell any negative effect as yet. Will observe over the weeks and update if needed.
