Cleaning Old R2R Tape

Gentlemen,

I have run R2Rs several times the last 50 years, and right now, I have two machines. Today, I opened up a sealed 1965 Nancy Wilson tape which had some mold growing inside the box with spots on the sides of the reeled tape. It played with some channel to channel movement of sound. Can any of you offer a method of cleaning the tape itself? I know how to clean the box and reel, but I have no idea how to clean the tape itself. Thanks in advance for all constructive ideas! I really appreciate sharing of the knowledge.

Jim
