Help with Drumstick Memorabillia Restoration?

[lcrforumac]

Hi there,

I own a drumstick which belonged to famous heavy metal drummer, received at a previous gig. Unfortunately, it has been poorly stored for a number of years and is now showing signs of mould on the faux-leather strapping placed around the handle of the stick (image attached).

I am keen to clean the mould from the strapping, without causing the strapping to lose its adhesive and come away.

Can anyone please advise what the best way to do this would be?

Thank you very much!
H.
