Mold Removal - Cleaning Mold from old Sports Equipment

Mold removal question of the day: Can mold be safely removed from old sports equipment?

Answer: It really just depends on the severity of the mold. I've noticed that there are some new shops specializing in cleaning sports equipment, and that can sometimes include very slight cases of mold. If the mold has become substantial, however, it is usually beyond repair - and it'll be best if you throw the old equipment out.

Remember, it will also depend on what surface the mold has taken hold of. Hard, non-porous surfaces (like on helmets) are far easier to clean, and you can probably clean the mold with a basic bleach solution. Porous or fabric materials - such as old goalie pads or jerseys - will be far more difficult.
