Removing odor from LP jackets, liners, etc
Remove the old jackets and buy new ones. This is an easy fix since you only have 125 Lps. I have over 1200 and I always throw away a used jacket. If I buy a collection of used LPs, there is that nasty, musty odor. But once the old jackets are remo...

ZeroDust still the best?
I too used the Zero Dust, however, after changing carts from robust Denon 103 to the very delicate Dynavector 17 D III, I realized the ZD might be too risky in that the gell could catch the stylus and bend the cantilever during a passionate cleani...
