Musty Smelling Records


I've been getting into analog more, and have noticed some of the used records I've bought have a musty smell. Is there a safe way to remove this? I think it's mostly in the jacket, maybe not the records themselves. If stored next to records that don't smell, will they all become contaminated? Is this supposed to be considered in the ratings (i.e. is it proper to grade an otherwise excellent but musty smelling record near mint)? Or is this just part of the "charm"?

Maybe instead of using a very harsh chemicals just for smell just try some auto/car strength febreze for the smell,just take the lps out from the jackets. The mold is another issue and you will need a stronger chemical, just do it in an open space.
