Removing Mould from books

We use a HEPA vacuum work bench. When we vacuum and clean books on the bench. the mould spores will fall into the filter. This prevents cross contamination with the rest of the library.

This unit is used in an environment such as a library where we can wheel the bench in between the isles. We can then catalogue them and move them onto the next stage of the remediation.
