Picked up a classic S&W holster but it has some light mold inside. Anyone ever cleaned/restored something like this? Any tips, product/process suggestions? This is going to be used on a 95% classic revolver so I want to do it right as to cause no damage.

I decided to use a 1:20 bleach solution with a toothbrush, followed by a clean water damp wipe. Hopefully will kill any lingering mold/must. Warmed the holster in the oven and wiped on some mink oil. When that dried in, warmed it again and put some sno-seal wax. Maybe over board.
