UC for me. No touch.
A CHEAP AND VERY EFFECTIVE RECORD CLEANING SOLUTION.
Over the years I’ve tried most of the record cleaning products out there, including the expensive stuff. Here’s what I’ve been using for many years now. It is totally biodegradable and will do no damage to your valuable LPs, and will get them sparkling clean.

Use one capful to a gallon of distilled bottled water. Use no more than the suggested capful. More is not better in this case. This will cost only pennies per gallon.

Been wondering if BasicH would be good in my SpinClean, it lowers the surface tension of water (making water wetter) ... I've been using it for decades to clean outside house windows, doesn't hurt the gardens underneath and also to wash my car so I've seen it doesn't seem to leave any film on windows or the car finish so should be good for LP's. Wouldn't use in Ultrasonic units as it will foam robustly with agitation. |
Basic H is biodegradable and non-toxic. My understanding is that Shaklee is no longer calling it Basic H. It is now called Basic H2. https://us.shaklee.com/Green-Home/Household-Cleaning/All-Purpose/Basic-H2%C2%AE-Biodegradable-Cleane... |
In the very comprehensive tome Rushton Paul wrote (and @whart published), he makes the case for Alconox Liquinox. For lowering water surface tension (both in and out of ultrasonic cleaners), he explains why Tergitol 15-S-9 (made by Talas) is a good choice. The Library of Congress used the similar 15-S-7, but it is not water-soluble, and requires multiple rinses to remove from the LP groove (each LP side contains one long, uninterrupted groove, not grooves ;-) . |
