It is never a good idea to apply any chemical to your image without knowing what you are doing. Never apply chemicals to your photographic prints without first consulting a photo archivist/restoration specialist. Indeed base chemicals are used in the development of photos, but then again you would not want to pour bleach on your photos because it would destroy the photos. Toothpaste has diatomaceous earth, an abrasive, as well as a plethora of other chemicals which again should not be applied to your photos without consulting a professional. I suggest you go to your local library with your photos and consult the photo archivist on what measures you should take for your particular photos. Sadly though there is usually not much which can be done once mold gets into the protein rich emulsion of the photograph. The best thing usually is to keep the image away from humidity, and reduce its exposure to the open air by placing the image in a archival safe sleeve and container.
