The cleaning of an LP jacket

I hadn't bought a used LP in a while, but did today. The LP itself is pretty clean, and will be even cleaner after it gets washed. But the cardboard jacket (cover) is a little nasty, more so than the ones I usually buy. What methods and products have all ya'll used to get them clean? With my normal not-so-dirty ones, I've always just set the jacket on the kitchen or dining room table and rubbed it with a folded paper towel. This cover looks like more drastic measures might be required to get the grime off.

Well, I think if one is a (member) they'll get a % off ( Barnes & Noble)'s purchases.

To each his own.................wait "it's plain to see, to walk alone".....

@bdp24,

If you go to www.sleevecity.com he has several videos showing various things. The name brands I was referring to are Clorox or Lysol not the store brands. This website seems to not be working right, I'll have to look into it later.

I use what the Sleeve City guy has recommended...the anti-bacterial wipes.
The name brand are the way to go as they have more of the chemical/s that provide better cleaning/disinfecting. I also use it on labels that are of the slick coating variety.. Any jacket or label that has a matte finish should be taken with caution regarding any cleaning method for obvious reasons. Believe me...an anti-bacterial agent is very welcome on old lp jackets...

..always squeeze out the excess first.
