Record Cleaning Machine

Rum,

I use the Loricraft fluid only for scummy records that don't clean up with my normal regimen. The Loricraft normal and heavy-duty fluids both contain large amounts of alchohol. I prefer not to use alchohol if possible.

My normal regimen includes RRL fluids, Vinyl-Zyme and Micro Care Premier. That handles 90% of all my records.

Rum,

I will echo Doug Deacon’s cleaning regimen. RRL is excellent. The other major camp is Disc Doctor fluids. Either one will do the job.

When I remember right, the Loricraft cleaning fluid ( L'Art du Son ) is without alcohol.
That's one of the main reasons for it's success, it doesn't smell, has no material mixes which are dangerous for human beings and it doesn't weaken the side walls from the gooves.
Most alcohol based fluids dry them out and after a while the records are not the same anymore.

I wonder where the myth of alcohol damaging vinyl came from. I have never seen, read about, or experienced anything of the sort. I still, in addition to using a Nitty Gritty, play my records wet, with the Swiss-made Lencoclean system, and I have done so for nearly 30 years. The only thing is that you should do is to use high-purity ethanol and two-times-distilled water for cleaning, or playing wet. I have tried all the fancy new liquids, L´Art du Son included,with the Nitty Gritty, and I could not really tell a diffrence to my own alcohol-water-liquid. Not one of my records ever suffered from damage, instead they are in much better shape of my friends, whose records are often much more worn.
