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.

there is very expencive tweak could be bought call "Rainbow" vacume cleaning and filtering machine made by GE. all you have to do is to place it next to the smelled area, turn it on and it will filter the air arround.
costs about $1.7k.
if you're using record-cleaning machine you might ask for some scentic from the record cleaner manufacturer:-)

So Jenney your post speaks for itself:
What if there is no sun? I believe that gas or electric oven can be used on that sence to bake it with some cinnamon probably wha would'ya say? Or it's also possible after taking out records to bring jackets to the dry cleaners! There are still so many ideas!
