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?.

Does anyone have any experience with the highly distilled water from Whole Foods as a final rinse? I seem to remember a post about it but can't seem to find it.

Headsnappin: The Whole Foods water was recommended on a water thread below and was mentioned here. A stop at a local Medical Ctr. for a heart Defib has delayed me from going to my local Whole Foods -- That's on my do list.

Crem1: Thanks for getting back to me. I'll try out a few more lps and see what happens. I've only steamed the one lp and certainly don't consider that to be a definitive sample. I will post updates on how I do. Also, I went to the local Whole Foods store here (I live in San Jose) and they did not have the special water mentioned before. Perhaps that water is only available in some states.

At any rate, I think you've made a real contribution to Audiogon by sharing your experiences on steam cleaning. It's been a very informative thread. Please keep us posted too. Cheers!

Hope your rhythm is better today. If A Fib, I'm sure that steals your energy.

TKS again for the great advise on cleaning.
