What Is Mold and Mildew Damage Restoration?
This specialized service focuses on:
Unlike general cleaning, mold restoration for antiques requires carefully selected non-toxic products that won’t damage sensitive finishes or aged materials.

Even if the furniture appears stable, mold can continue spreading within joints, interiors, and beneath finishes if not treated professionally.
Our Mold & Mildew Restoration Process
We follow a safe, controlled process to remove mold and mildew without compromising structural or historical integrity:
We inspect for visible and hidden mold, measure internal humidity, and identify areas most affected by contamination.
If active mold is present, we isolate the piece and stabilize it to prevent further spread—protecting both your furniture and surrounding space.
Using soft brushes, HEPA filtration, and conservation-safe cleaning agents, we remove mold from the surface, joints, crevices, and case interiors.
We apply natural, wood-safe deodorizing treatments that neutralize musty smells at the source—without covering them up or damaging finishes.
We repair weakened glue joints, recondition dried wood, and restore structural components affected by mold degradation.
If mold has discolored or etched the finish, we perform touch-up, polish, or light refinishing to visually restore the piece.
After treatment, we apply high-grade conditioners or waxes to nourish the wood and protect against future microbial growth.
Our mold and mildew restoration work includes:
If a piece cannot be fully saved, we’ll give you honest guidance and possible options for safe preservation or partial restoration.

Frequently Asked Questions – Mold and Mildew Damage Restoration
Is mold dangerous to antique wood furniture?
Yes. Mold can weaken wood fibers, destroy glue joints, and permanently stain finishes if not removed safely and properly.
Can I just clean mold off with vinegar or bleach?
We don’t recommend it. These can damage antique finishes, alter wood color, and make the damage worse. Our methods are designed for antique materials.
Can you remove the musty smell completely?
In most cases, yes. We use deep-penetrating odor treatments that neutralize smells without leaving a strong chemical scent behind.
What if mold is only inside the drawers or underneath?
That’s very common. We treat both visible and hidden areas, including drawer interiors, backs, and feet—where mold often starts.
Do you offer preventive protection after treatment?
Yes. We condition and seal the surface with waxes or oils that help resist future microbial growth, especially in humid climates.
Can you restore both structure and appearance after mold damage?
Yes. Our services include both structural repairs and cosmetic restoration—so your furniture is not only clean but functional and beautiful again.
