Whats the best record cleaning fluid?

grahamester, as I said above, I have tried it.

Where does one get commercial grade alcohol (is 91% at the pharmacy enough)?
Where does one get this 2 stage RO water from?
Thanks
Chris

Cytocycle, most would not use alcohol on their records. You can get purer alcohol but it attracts water on opening. By all means avoid rubbing alcohol. I think I found higher purity alcohol at a pharmacy. I imagine you can find two stage RO on the internet under google.

Tbg: I'm not cleaning 78's so Alcohol is fine... as I nearly passed out from my Clearaudio RCM cleaning solution which definitely had some alcohol in it... I can find RO on the internet but shipping costs.. I want to find it locally so I'm asking for what type of distributor I need to check for.

Isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol) is a drying agent.

It does very little vis a vis degreasing or cleaning plastic be it 91% or 99%.

The surfactant in a record cleaning fluid is what loosens the contaminants from the record not the alcohol.
