Magnetic media and mold cleanup

Well, I'm sure most everyone has heard about the awful flood we had down
here in Houston last year. Quite abit of stuff I had stored away was
damaged, but not totally ruined.

Today I found several boxes of 10MB Bernoulli cartridges I had stored
away, which were covered with a gray powder-like mold. It seems to be easy
to clean off the plastic housing, but I found it has also started to grow
on the magnetic media itself.

Does anyone know of a way to remove the mold that won't damage the
magnetic media? Also, does anyone remember the trick to opening the
shutter on these 8" cartridges?
