L'Art record cleaning solution

Crem1

a very thoughtful response. I had not read the negative about the L'Art and will look for those. Also thanks for the tip on the water for the steamer.

I have both L'Art du Son AND a steam cleaner. Without the steam cleaning, L'Art du Son was the best of the cleaning fluids I used however when I mixed up a litre batch and kept it for future use, after 6 months there was murky black fungus wafting around the bottom of the container. Since using the steamer, I find only a distilled water final rinse is all I require.

Halcro,

I have read about the fungus, maybe that is what Crem1 is referring to.

Do you mean when you use the steamer you do not need the L'Art and just rinse with distilled water instead?

thanks

Phil

Philjolet,
Correct...........I now use only the steamer and a final water rinse. No cleaning solution! I find it cheaper and better.

Philjolet : The water matter has been tramped in a dearth of opinion & fact. An argument can be made for the use of water only & Halcro is a proponet of that view. The challenge revolves around what constitutes "pure water" and "distilled water". Several chemists have suggested that since no actual goverment standards with penalities exist , the only way to assure water standards is to purchase labatory standard. Other disagree. The choice is yours to make. Lots of other issues on the matter have been outlined in the Threads mentioned including a Water Thread.
