Preferred method for removing mold & mildew from album covers


I just scored some albums from a garage sale that have quite a bit of mold and mildew on the covers . The records themselves are in pretty decent shape . I know how to clean the records but am not sure about the covers . I have them airing out right now .

Can anyone help ?

Thank You

Check out eBay - your source for album covers in great shape and LPs inside in crappy shape.  Good luck.

The other alternative is to not worry about the covers for now, and buy some high grade plain cardboard jackets- I like the white ones with the cut out in the middle sold by sleeve city. I use these in connection with new inner sleeves for repacking some records after cleaning. If you want you can write on the jacket in indelible marker or use a sticker (i do the latter) to better identify what’s in it. They offer pretty good protection as well. Mine are usually then bagged as part of a larger package for each record, but you don’t have to be obsessive about it.
