Cleaning Mold Off of Leather

By janicelpace

Cleaning mold off leather is easy, using glycerin soap and warm water and a soft rag. Wipe off excess soap with a dry rag, then hang item out in the sun if it's a nice day, or put in the dryer on high heat for 3-5 minutes. Smells great too!

I am looking to replace the gasket on a very old chest deep freezer. It is a Sears Coldspot 22 for the mid-50s. It is not self-defrosting.
