? about VHS tapes

[kygirl71]

Does anyone know if there is a way to clean VHS tapes? Some of mine were in storage and the building had some moisture in there and now they have mold on the tape itself.. :mad:

You can buy Tape Rewinders/Cleaners, I am not sure if it will clean mold...
Here's an example of one...

I sent an email to a friend that owns several video stores ... I'll let you know when she gets back to me.

{{You could try a product called "Damp-Rid" -- I have used it to dry out a cell phone that was left in the rain. Put the product in a lage bag with the phone and sealed it - the crystals absorb the excess moisture. You can buy it at WalMarts.}}

Ok ill try those ideas..some of the tapes were my daughters Disney movies and I really would hate to have to throw those away. Jolie, thanks. Ill keep checking back.
Thanks!
