Is there a way to clean...


...records without the use of a machine, that would work even remotely well?

"I had the same question:"

Pawlowski, thanks for the pointer to the thread. I read through it and found some good ideas. Your method sounds interesting, but is there any danger in the application of steam to the vinyl surface?
Jaybo, truth be told I've been using Last for at least 20 years and have not had any real complaints. But I've always wondered if a deeper application or better method of removal would improve the outcome.

I think the only risk is that you don't keep the steam moving. Think of ironing your clothes. Everything's OK unless you let the iron rest in one place too long. Other than that, it's just hot distilled water.
I have a Nitty Gritty machine and RRL fluids, but I have also had good results using just an alchohol based cleaner and microfiber cloths (I like the super soft "auto detailing" cloths at Target--they don't scratch the vinyl!.) This is especially good for filthy thrift store finds.
P6132.....which shopvac model did you get to do the
job....I guess the small one is all you need ?
Was any special accessory required ?
