When books get wet.......

 A few weeks ago, my mom and I were cleaning the basement and I discovered that some of my books that I had stored down there had gotten wet. How and why that happened I will spare you the details. Just know that they were wet and starting to mold.

I immediately went into recovery mode with LB2 as my assistant. We covered the damp books in baking side to draw out the moisture and we wiped the mold away with a paper towel soaked in warm water we put castile soap into. When the books covered in baking soda showed signs of drying some, we used an old toothbrush to brush off the damp excess soda before we used the blow dryer on them. 

We have gotten the majority all taken cared off. We intended to place the mostly dried books in the sun so it could finish them off. Sadly, our weather has been either rainy or cloudy. It'll get done eventually.

As always, feel free to leave me a message below.
