" I have a collector&amp;#039;s-edition Beatles poster that has mildew on it. How can I safely remove the mildew without damaging the paper? -- Nicole Marker, Houston Wow! I&amp;#039;m already humming my favorite Beatles song. If this poster is a collectible and rare, it&amp;#039;s probably best to leave it alone, because you could damage it further and decrease the poster&amp;#039;s value. Or you might want to call a local professional restorer to do the job. But if you want to give it a try, mix one teaspoon of 3 percent hydrogen peroxide with one teaspoon of distilled water. Use a cotton-tip swab and apply -- very cautiously -- to a small spot of the mildewed area. (Don&amp;#039;t overwet. Hydrogen peroxide acts like a bleaching agent.) Let stand for 24 to 48 hours, and then check to see if further cleaning is necessary. If effective, repeat the process on the remaining mildewed area. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
