Mould spores under shrink wrap
Options
My parents have had some of my vinyl in storage whilst they have been moving.
I've just noticed some mould under the shrink wrap of some vinyl.
Is there anyway to remove this without taking it out of the wrap?
Any help would be appreciated.

I'm not aware of anyway you would be able to remove that mold thru the shrink wrap. Best to remove the wrap and clean right away. Numerous posts you can search on Google with best methods/products to remove...Good luck!!0

Yep. Having the mold on the records does nothing for the value of the record if there is such a thing. So you may want to unseal and salvage what you can. I have unsealed all of mine and put them in protective covers to preserve but numerous people have said that leaving records sealed can be very bad for the physical record.Alpine Valley Music Theatre East Troy, Wisconsin (September 03, 2011); Alpine Valley Music Theatre East Troy, Wisconsin (September 04, 2011); Deluna Fest Pensacola, FL (September 21, 2012); Wrigley Field (July 19, 2013); Milwaukee, WI (October 20, 2014); Wrigley Field I (August 20, 2016); Wrigley Field II (August 22, 2016); Home Shows Seattle Night 1 (August 08, 2018), Home Shows Seattle Night 2 (August 10, 2018), Apollo Theater (September 10, 2022), Madison Square Garden (September 11, 2022), Bourbon & Beyond Louisville (September 17th, 2022).0

Take lp out. Put jacket in the sun for a bit afteryou clean it. Mold hates sun. Don't put record in the sun. I repeat take out vinyl first.

Thanks again everyone 😊 I have since removed all plastic and cleaned, and have made sure the covers (not vinyl) are in the sunlight for the day.0
