You can use a solution of white vinegar and water (50-50 will work). Not only will it remove any mildew, it will also absorb any odors. I use this all the time when I find old furniture to refurbish.





Just be very careful when dealing with mold and mildew. The spores can become airborne, and you don't want to be inhaling them. The best way to clean the furniture is to spray it with the vinegar solution, allow it to dry, then wipe with a clean cloth.What is the best way to remove mildew bloom from hardwood?
2tsp tea tree oil (wal-mart pharmacy by the witch hazel) in a spray bottle with 12 oz water. Shake, spray and wipe. It smells really good, kills the mold spores, and won't harm the finish of your wood.
Several years ago I bought a house that had several antique pieces stored in the basement -- of course, by default, they became mine! The basement had been drenched when a gutter had leaked; thus, the furniture grew mold.





I used a mild bleach solution (5% Clorox in water) followed by a quick wipe with isopropyl alcohol (the kind you buy at the drug store). The alcohol removes the white residue that bleach will leave behind. Once it air dried, I washed with Murphy's Oil Soap and then applied a good coat of furniture wax.





Good luck!
1/3 Bleach and 2/3 water mixture will kill mildew. Use a soft sponge and rub it . First, apply a little in a conspicous area to see if it damages the wood. If so, then you will need to buy a special product from the store.
I live on a river bluff and my antiques were experiencing a mildew problem. I mixed a 20 percent soution of bleach to water, and with quick clean swipes removed it. The a quick once over with clear water, before totally drying, then, air drying and oil.
