What technique to perform the cleaning would you recommend. Does one apply the Isopropyl alcohol and wait some time for it to kill the mould. Perhaps, apply and wipe immediately with an anti-static microfiber cloth?
You had mentioned that after cleaning a disk of mould and gaining more reads, the disk should be tossed in the garbage bin. Is this just a precaution to guard against future failure to the disk due to more growth of mould or is there another reason.

Are you willing to PAY to get that data recovered ? If you want to ship some of those disks to me i can try fo image them and carve the data out.
I do not believe it would be worth it for what has not been recovered. But thank you for offering.
