Cleaning Mouldy VHS & Camcorder Tapes
At Supaphoto, we specialise in the restoration and rejuvenation of VHS and other videotapes afflicted by insidious mould growth. Video Machines are just designed to play them and they will do more damage than good. We clean VHS tape with mould, all types of mould.
Understanding Mould Damage in Videotapes
Do you happen to have VHS cassettes that have languished in the confines of a basement, attic, or garage? Home videos with mould on tape are more common than we think.
Perhaps you’ve noticed the emergence of white fuzz on the tape reels. Whenever humidity infiltrates videotapes, mould is a relentless companion. Mould often obstructs the seamless playback of videos. Our mould on VHS tapes removal and cleaning service steps in to meticulously cleanse and eliminate mould and mildew from your VHS tapes, ensuring they can once again grace your screen. Following the repair video with mould restoration process, we can then proceed with the conversion of your tapes into a different, more accessible format.
It’s important to note that mould can also inflict harm upon the internal components of your VCR and Video Machine. Once these mould spores infiltrate your machine, they may migrate to other tapes, exacerbating the problem. For this reason, tapes affected by mould must undergo cleansing prior to conversion. Most video conversion companies shy away from tapes with mould issues, typically returning them unconverted. If your tapes have been rejected by other transfer services, entrust Recapture for a comprehensive cleaning. After this cleansing process, we can proceed to convert your tapes into the format of your choice. Your original tapes will be diligently cleaned and restored, and if desired, new discs will accompany them.

Common Questions
The presence of mould on tapes can be attributed to various factors. Mould requires a combination of moisture, warmth, and organic material to grow. Here are some common reasons why your tapes might be mouldy:
Humidity and Moisture: Tapes stored in a damp or humid environment are more susceptible to mould growth. Ensure that the storage area is dry and well-ventilated.
Poor Storage Conditions: Tapes should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If they are stored in a location with poor air circulation or in contact with a damp surface, mould can develop.
Water Damage: If the video tapes have been exposed to water, either through leaks or flooding, it can lead to mould growth. Ensure that the storage area is free from water leaks.
Improper Cleaning: If tapes were not properly cleaned before storage and had organic residues on them, such as dirt or food particles, mould can use these as a nutrient source.
Long-Term Storage: Tapes stored for an extended period without proper care are more likely to develop mould. Regularly inspect and clean your storage space, and consider rotating the tapes to prevent long-term stagnation.
Inspect Regularly: Periodically inspect your tape collection for signs of mold or other damage, and take preventive measures.
If the mould damage is extensive, it may be challenging to salvage the tapes. In such cases, you might want to consult with a professional restoration service that specialises in audio-visual media to assess the extent of the damage and explore potential recovery options.
