Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?


It has happened again. Major tweak and record provider has available a steam cleaner made especially for records. Anybody try steam for cleaning lp’s? What were your results? Since a unit can be had for about $20 at Target, 15% of what the tweak provider is charging, is it worth a try?.

Lead content, prominently displayed on the package. I had wondered why no one had mentioned this fact until recently. That's exactly why I avoided the Perfection steamer and purchased the Steamfast SF275. Better build quality and with UL and the Good Housekeeping seals of approval. Plus, I think blue looks a lot nicer than red, FWIW.
I agree that this thread currently has no peer as to useful information and entertainment value. I've had my best results ever using steam as a cleaning method (thanks, Crem!). However, since I have no plan to chew on the power cord of my Perfection steamer (lead exposure pathways are primarily inhalation and ingestion, not dermal contact), I think I'll just hold onto it for now.

I think I will hold on to my Perfection as well. I saw an episode of "Monk" last night where Monk was fondling some LP's at his assistant's house. If he started trying to clean them, I am sure he would get off on some kind of delusionary tangent like on this thread, it would be hilarious.
It seems that most record cleaning threads start out practical and then gradually migrate into the obsessive compulsive ether .
I like to keep my record cleaning down to less than two minutes per record, and the steam rinse method seems to be compatible with this goal.

Tvad, do yourself a favor. Buy another type of record cleaner cleaner. From the context of your posts, STEAMING IS NOT FOR YOU!!!!!!!! And probably no record cleaning system will satisfy you. Cd's might be a good venue for you or maybe bowling.
