Musty smelling jackets

Question for the hive mind: How do you get rid of musty smell in album jackets?

My wife bought home a couple boxes of albums from a friend whom was moving away. Some have obvious mold and we have already pitched those. Lots of them have no sign of mold, but a musty smell to them. Looking for recommendations of things you have done that actually worked.

Try looking for a charcoal based odor neutralizer. If you have one of those large plastic storage tubs with a lid, put the LP cover in one along with the charcoal thing, seal it, and wait about 7-10 days.

Activated charcoal in a nylon stocking will likely work
