Cleaning record jackets

[soundsville]

Hi Vultures.
was just wondering if any of you can assist me in finding out how to remove black fingerprints of glossy record jackets.
It looks like it may be either ink or oil grease.

Regards,

I use one of those kitchen cleaners (the spray type) which are designed to remove grease from worktops. A quick spray and a wipe off with kitchen towel usually does the trick... and because you mist it on with the spray, it generally isn't possible to cause any damage by soaking the sleeve.

Obviously, don't use on un glossed/un laminated sleeves !

In my experience glossy jackets are the easiest to clean, as using liquids tends not to affect the jacket surface so much. Try the water/alchohol, lighter fluid or washing-up water solutions you use to clean the record with (these also work in removing old stickers).
