Advice on old C64 floppies?

I've got a big box (1571 drive box) full of floppies, some originals, some not. They've been stored for ~8 years in a storage unit that gets *hot* in the summer, and who knows where prior to that. How safe are these going to be to use? Still can't find a Joystick (found Joysticks for literally every other system today, and I know I have 4+ 2600 joysticks), however, I've found two more good serial cables, and have both 1541's connected (might also connect the 1571). Also found my Epyx Fastload cart (now to google up some doc's). Next step will probably be getting my 386sx working with Star Commander to make Lunix and Contiki floppies to play with.
