Re: White mold in bellows
Not knowing whether this is an unorthodox manner or not, but this is how we treat such mold. All you need is a small paint brush and an organic kind of detergent made of orange peels (smells real good and kills mold). Put a bit of detergent in a container, put some water in another container. Dip brush in container, brush on mold spot, clean brush well in water and repeat steps. After you're done, let bellows dry in the sun where it can catch UV rays. And voila, the mold has gone to heaven.

Is there a heaven for fungi? And wouldn't it be more likely to go to hell? ;)
Re: White mold in bellows
It depends, I suppose, on whether or not it was repentant. :P
Re: White mold in bellows
I've also heard of people using tea tree oil in a detergent base... the mould or fungi goes to hell in this case!
Not heaven!
[BTW, I've never had the need to try this so try it only if you're a gambler!]

Will tea tree oil in a detergent base, hurt my bellows?

I don't think so, but it depends what your bellows are made of.

Obviously, do NOT immerse your bellows in the stuff. Just take a damp cloth and wet it down with the solution. Then, gently wipe the affected area.
The nice thing about using Tea Tree Oil is that it's a natural product and isn't a harsh chemical compound.
Hopefully, it'll work for you!
