Most pertroleum based oils do not encourage mold or mildew when used in indoor settings. When this does occur it is often the result of contamination which is averted primarily by keeping surfaces clean via a light washing with a mild soap (that won't remove the oil) and a thorough drying. However the use of mineral oil for the preservation of tool handles is unknown with respect to endurance of non-growth matters. Linseed oil is often used for tool handles but commonly available types contain toxic by-products. True "boiled" linseed oil overcomes this effect but is not readily available.
