[mik]

Any ideas?

Just as normal - it comes off easily enough .....

baby sterlizer for bottles kills the mould

Ok,, thanks!!
Just never had it so wet here and everything is going, even my leather brushes!

I posted about this a while ago, as not riding for months my tack has just been sitting aroung. I was told not to use glycerin saddle soap, so have changed to a leather tack cleaner (sorry cant remember which one) and that seems to be doing the trick.

The mould is harmless. A good clean and a gentle dry out and it will be fine.

I know, but it smells foul!

Mik, you're from Spain aren't you? I guess you don't have as much cold and damp as we do over here. We are pretty used to it! All tack gets the green mould when left in a cold, damp tack room untouched for a few weeks.

Just clean it as normal, it'll come up good as new.

Thanks all. I'll get cleaning!!!

Can the mould rot stitching? (got a bridle and headcollar turning a bit green)
