50% Diluted rubbing alcohol works REALLY great on hard to clean jackets - HOWEVER - it will dissolve the varnish and inks on some, ruining them. No matter what I use, I always spot test a very small area first (usually on a back corner, along the bottom, where the front paper wraps around and under the back sheet.)
Cleaning Record Jackets
Hello,
I have found lot's of tips for cleanning records, but not any for cleaning record jackets. I have a bunch of records that I have gotten from trift stores and have cleaned up the vinyl, but the covers remain pretty dirty. I have tired a damp sponge, a bit of diluted windex, some diluted dish washing soap, but so far nothing seems to clean up the jackets that way I was hoping. Anyone have a secret formula they are willing to share?
Thanks,
Jeff
