Bringin' that thrift-store smell home


For the past few months I've been avidly (my friends say compulsively) searching the local thrift stores for LPs. I've found some great recordings, but as I accumulate more and more of them I'm finding that my house is smelling more and more like a thrift store. I expect that many of the LPs I've bought have been stored in damp places and have become moldy, even though they look fine.

Has anyone else faced this problem? Any ideas for deodorizing LP jackets? Thanks.

perhaps a wipe-down inside & outside of the jackets with lemon Pledge?
Whatever you do don't import a bunch of mothballs - they emit toxic gasses.
Albert's recommendation reminds me of a pet deodorant spray that we buy at our local pet store. It's intended use is for kennels & cages, etc, not for spraying on the animals themselves. And it is very effective.
