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.

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+

10 drops of Tergikleen per gallon of distilled water.  Dry with a table fan.

Thanks for feedback. I have found using a vacuum Record cleaner to rinse and dry after ultrasonic cleaning seems to give best results.
