A few drops of tea tree oil in water.
I had this problem with some motorcycle saddlebags.
I think the mols was actually digesting the leather...left little divots.
Wiped it with soapy water and it came back.
Tea tree oil kept it away.
I bet some unprocessed beeswax would do it, too.
Propolis is an amazing anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.
If it wasn't, there'd be all kinds of mold in a 98deg. beehive.

Sweet K-1000. I shoot with one of those regularly.

Clorox. Or better yet fire. And then a new strap.

We just wipe it down with 100 dollar bills and keep playing.

Ponds Cold Cream will kill mold in camera lenses, you could smear it with this.

Then set it on fire
