I don’t bother. If it’s a new record I wrap it in a Sleeve City 5mil outer as soon as I remove the factory shrink wrap. If it’s used I just leave it as is and put it in an outer sleeve.
What are you using to clean LP album covers?
What do you guys use, if anything other than a damp cloth to clean LP album covers. I like to use the plastic sleeves on most of my albums and want the cover to be looking it's best prior to sliding it into the sleeve. This subject has probably came up before but using search turns up nothing for me.

@billstevenson I have thousands of records, and have been using outer sleeves for ages. None have harbored mold, ever. The sleeves are open ended and my records are stored in an HVAC controlled environment. I suppose if people put their records in outer jackets and then keep them in cardboard boxes in a damp basement or garage they'll have issues. But I use the outer sleeves (Sleeve City 5mil) and will continue to do so. YMMV The only mold I have ever encountered on records in 50+ years of collecting is on used ones I have bought from Discogs. |
