Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?


It has happened again. Major tweak and record provider has available a steam cleaner made especially for records. Anybody try steam for cleaning lp’s? What were your results? Since a unit can be had for about $20 at Target, 15% of what the tweak provider is charging, is it worth a try?.

who is this major tweak and record provider?

And what is the unit you are looking at for $20 at Target. If you are talking about a fabric steamer, I don't believe this one will do. You need a pressure steamer. Something like the Shark Steam Blaster.
I'd like to try steam cleaning LPs as well. May be after the Audio Intelligent clener I am using runs out, I'll give the steam cleaning a try....
Be careful with distilled water as it will not boil. But it will get as hot as boiling water. If you insert anything into distilled water while it is at boiling temps it can and will become violent.
As I understand it,this steam-cleaner should be kept 6" away from the LP.There are two additives you can use-one for basic cleaning and another for deep cleaning/grundge removal.Mapleshade MSRP is $150,they will add a maple box for the Xmas version at an additional cost.
