My press has mould on it

[GB2014]

Hello, although I thoroughly washed, scrubbed, rinsed and dried the wooden barrel of my press it has still got a bit of mould on one end. How can I scrub it off or at least sterilise it without damaging the wood and having soap/cleaning chemicals seep into future batches? Or should I just leave it in a warm, dry place and not worry? Thanks!

Try white vinegar in water (in equal parts). If needs be a wire brush or steel wool to get rid of the worst of the mould first.
