Semi-redundant posting - I asked same in a buried list of questions in a non-Graflex posting, but not sure how visible that will be.

How to clean stinky, lightly mildew-spotted viewing hood material (I think leather)?

Bleach & 'Tilex' leave a new odor.

I'm not sure the blend for lenses (ammonia & hydrogen peroxide) is aggressive enough? I'm not sure why that even works; nothing in it kills mold...I think.

Thanks

Wash with Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft cloth until clean. When the leather is clean coat with Lemon Pledge and rub in well. Its OK to let the pledge sit on the leather over night before rubing it in.
