agree with rushton on bleach. it is the best method to remove the mold. It will not harm the vinyl. Just follow the advice to use the bleach first then use your normal cleaning regime. As for the sleeves, not sure how to salvage without hurting the paper. bleach will stop mold but will fade the paper and someofthe inks.
Mold on lps and record sleeves..HELP
Hi all..
Ok, so my vinly collection finally arrived from theUK...
It has obviously been ina damp environment..
There is white-ish mold spots (to varying) degrees on all records-some 250 or so..
Covers also show mold /damp residue..And smell funky...
So-obviously cleaning is in order-Which I am dreading..
Nitty gritty?
one step liquid or more??
Brushes-so many differing opinions..
ALSO!!!! How dangerous is this kind of mold to one's health?
Should I Lysol the outer sleeves (with the lp removed???
Obviously I will replace inner sleeves.But would like to keep outer ones if poss..
Your help please!!
