How do I remove smoke smell from vinyl records?
Hi.
I just bought some 7" records off eBay, but they have arrived stinking of smoke! I've had a look at different ways to remove smoke smells from different things, but not vinyl records. Does anybody know what I can do to get rid of it. it's not too strong, but it still smells and i hate it!
Hope you can all help me, thanks a lot =D

Also, how do i remove smoke from the sleeves. Will soap and water be ok, or will it damage them? I'm thinking it will be ok.
DON"T PUT THEM IN THE SUN!!!! They will melt and be ruined.
You can take a large box, place bag of charcoal inside of it, cut a huge section, of the side of the bag facing up, off. Place and old t-shirt, towel, section of newspaper, cooling racks, or other such thing on top of the charcoal but that will allow air flow without the records touching the charcoal, and place the records on that and set the whole thing into a closet or other place and leave them alone for a week or two. The charcoal will absorb any odors and the records will be safe.
EUREKA!!! A dish strainer that you dry washed dishes in would work perfectly for this while separating the records and they would be perfectly safe from scratching and have proper air flow.

Vogue Records $78.07 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Vogue Records was a shortlived United States based record label of the 1940s, noted for the artwork embedded in the records themselves. Founded in 1946 as part of SavWay Industries of Detroit, Michigan, the discs were initially a hit, because of the novelty of the colorful artwork, and the improved sound compared to the shellac records dominant at the time. The discs were manufactured by first sandwiching printed illustrations around a core of aluminum, then coating both sides with clear vinyl upon which the grooves were stamped. The company went out of business the following year, having released between 67 and 74 doublesided 78 rpm gramophone records. Some of the Vogue issues were rereleases of recordings originally issued by other companies. Author: Surhone, Lambert M./ Timpledon, Miriam T./ Marseken, Susan F.
