I guess it depends on how bad it is. I had a pair of leather trousers go moldy and I just took a slightly damp sponge to them to clean the mold off. Obviously you then need to leave them out to air & dry properly after that.

As for stopping steel bits rusting, spray bottles of lanolin are the way forward. The downside is that you have to clean the stuff off before use but it stops steel rusting really well.

Baby oil is good for cleaning leather, and it might help protect the metal parts.

You can use shoe polish it, use clear shoe wax and it will help protect it from water ingress.
