Vinyl cleaning and alcohol

I remember some of those threads.  It turned out that some guys actually use undiluted alcohols. I'm not sure I would recommend that or do it myself. I have always used a solution that is about 10% pure ethanol, laboratory grade, not drug store bought. The best you can get is 98% pure, I think. As you probably know, "rubbing alcohol" is a definite no-no, because of additives.  Given my own 10% solution (plus distilled deionized water plus a few drops of non-ionic detergent), I have had no discernible problems with alcohol.  But there is sure to be someone who says it is a bad idea.  Let's also argue about ultrasonic machines and damage those might do.

The truth is it won't destroy your records, but you can do a whole lot better. But audiophiles are always about one-upping each other on tinier and tinier details. 

Well...there is really NO truth, because all of this in it’s infancy.

Alcohol, what I find disturbing is, that over time it may cause vinyl to become brittle.

I use a product developed to clean plastics. Versa-Clean from Fisherbrand scientifics. I dilute it.

Alcohol is always a good solution
