 Looking for the Best "one step" liquid record cleaner  .I am running out of MoFI "One" Cleaning Solution, so I thought I would poll the membership for recommendations..

I used to use a simple formula

30% isopropyl alcohol
70% distilled water
few drops of photo flow wetting agent and a cap full of non foaming detergent in a spray bottle. Sorry don’t recall the detergent I used

also rinse with pure distilled water after cleaning. dry to your method of choice.


you can get the photo flow at most photography shops that sell supply’s.

L'Art du Son is the one I prefer. You have to respect proportions of water and cleaning fluid and let it rest 2 mInutes on the record  before rinsing and the music sings. AI n°6 is really good too but you have let it rest a few more minutes before drying.

one more thing to add if your looking for Distilled water try looking for commercially available  battery level distilled water its particulate level is much lower then the regular stuff you buy at the drug store.  this is the type of water they use in large battery banks that are much more susceptible to contamination and stratification then batteries like in your car. ( like submarine batteries ;-)

I use the Audio Intelligent #6 One Step as well, and have for years.  I can't compare to anything else, but it certainly seems to work well for me.
