Videotape Mold Removal and Cleaning

We clean and restore VHS and other videotapes affected by mold or mildew

Mold often appears as white or gray fuzzy patches on the tape reels and can prevent tapes from playing correctly. In many cases, attempting to play a moldy tape can cause further damage to both the tape and the playback equipment.

Mold and Mildew Removal

Do you have VHS cassettes or other videotapes with white fuzz growing on them? Videotapes that have been stored in basements, attics, garages, or other humid environments are especially vulnerable to mold growth.

Our mold removal and cleaning service carefully removes mold and mildew from VHS and other videotapes. Once cleaned, tapes can be safely played and prepared for conversion to another format if desired.

Don't ignore VHS cassettes that have mold or other damage. Mold spores can contaminate VCRs and spread to other tapes, making the problem worse over time. For this reason, tapes with visible mold must be cleaned before any transfer or digitization can take place.

Most video transfer services will not accept mold-affected tapes and will return them unconverted. If your tapes have been rejected elsewhere, we can clean them properly and then convert them to the format of your choice.

Professional Cleaning and Handling

Proper mold removal and cleaning can help preserve the recordings stored on your videotapes and reduce the risk of permanent loss. Our technicians are experienced in disassembling VHS and other cassette types and cleaning tapes using appropriate methods designed to minimize further deterioration. Each item is barcoded and tracked throughout the process to ensure accurate handling and return. After cleaning, your original tapes are returned to you, along with any DVDs, digital files, or other media you request.
