[Nhcoll-l] Sea Turtle Shell Mold

[Kayla Sanders]

Good Morning,

My name is Kayla Sanders and I am the Assistant Manager of Exhibits Collection and Development at the Museum of Discovery and Science in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. I would like to find out if you have any recommendations on cleaning mold growth from a taxidermy sea turtle shell. We have come across mold growth on several of our preserved sea turtle shells.

We were thinking possibly using rubbing alcohol and Q-tips to clean the areas, but wanted to hear the advice from other museums.

If you could please let me know what you think might work best without damaging the shell, I would appreciate it.

Thank you,
