Anything that can do mold removal permanently, actually I have used many products but can't be able to stop the growth of mold. Any suggestions?

I would imagine that a decent record-cleaning fluid like Pure2 with a little bleach could kill the mold on the records. Then follow up with some straight Pure2 to remove the bleach/fluid combo. I would personally forget the sleeves and just replace them. No, you're not submerging the record in bleach for a week - just add a bit to the fluid. I can't imagine it would be harmful if it's removed soon after with pure water or another fluid rinse. |
You desire to preserve the original sleeves in probably more trouble than it is worth. You'll need to not only clean the sleeves for aesthetic reasons but also decontaminate and kill all the mold/mildew spores. Otherwise, the whole process starts over, especially if humidity rises above 50%. See the attached link for a discussion of the conservation issues related to your problem. While the link discusses books, not record jackets, the problems are the same. https://www.library.cornell.edu/preservation/librarypreservation/mee/management/mold.html |
