Ultrasonic cleaning

How many of you are ultrasonic cleaning your records and what solution are you using? I have a Kirmuss ultrasonic machine and I am currently using Tergikleen solution with distilled water. Have some Audio Intelligence ultrasonic solution on order to try. I can tell a big difference with noisy records lowering the noise floor.

Definition of "deionized water": Deionized water is free of cations (positively charged mineral ions) and anions (negatively charged mineral ions). Some examples of cations are calcium and magnesium, sodium and iron, while sulfates, carbonates and nitrates are all examples of anions.

Not me, I use a traditional fluid / vacuum cleaner… a Nessie.

I use both a Loricraft and a Degritter. If I had to keep only one, it would be the former, as I think by itself it does more than the Degritter by itself. Together, I think I get the best of both worlds.

I pre-wash with Grove Washer G2, then bathe for 10 to 15 min. in my Ultrasonic cleaner using Reverse Osmosis water. A+
