How much isopropanol is effective but safe for viny?

I do not use as I read, that overtime it can cause vinyl to become brittle. That’s reason enough for me to stay away....far away.

Here is THE question... Why do people want to use isopropyl alcohol? What factor does isopropyl alcohol have that would lend itself a great cleaning agent on vinyl records? Have the Isopropyl alcohol proponents tried/used other methods? If yes, let's hear of them and their/both long term affects.

Sorry but your post makes no sense to me.

Happy Listening!

@slaw My post makes perfect sense.  Isopropanol should NOT be used on records.  Period.  It does not clean off the substances that need to be removed from the grooves of vinyl records and removes the plasticizers that need to remain on the records.

@bpoletti

So you are saying it removes plasticizers that need to remain on records is the best thing?

I think you need to re-word your post my friend.

Yes, the plasticizers are needed to preserve the vinyl.  Sorry for the confusion.

Plasticizers. Lol! This thread has gone to crazy town.
