Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?

Oilmanmojo: I am humbeled by your recommendation.

I know that you have advanced tangencial arms by light years , and I feel of all the folks that have local-cred you are # 1.

This steam cleaning process is so far ahead of the commerical products they can never catch up. Althought, in the regular discource is haven't recommended multiable steamings, I know that a second cleaning exceeds what can be pondered by one step only. Recently, I was given a 1,000+ record collection of 1st edition tube/soild state LPs fron the 1960's. For a few weeks I have been working on selected copies of origional Stones, Doors and Hendrix besides hundreds that I aquired.

Steaming with or without RCM's is fantasik , I thank the God for giving me the insite . A clean LP played by a good playback system is a gift from above.

FYI : I have been looking for a record cleaning brush that would full-fill any issues related to cleaning Lp groves. Previously , I note a find in the @ Dollar Store , a back scrubber that did appear to be a "Best Find" for one $.

I now believe that the company "Quickie" has a superior back brush attached to a "Y" revolving arm that can be separated from that "Y" . The brisels are superior to any other I have found and the cost is under $5.00. Look for it in your grocery market.

After having purchased and used the "Perfection" steam cleaner, (I also use the downward pointng nozzle), I am firmly on the steam powered wagon! I now no longer feel compelled to buy an RCM, the grooves are coming out cleaner than any other cleaning method I have used.
Charlie, you deserve a hardy pat on the back, you have saved my bacon!

Thanks much,
Dan

Dan : Support like yours confirms what I suspect to be a fact; Steam Cleaning is equal to , if not superior to, Record Cleaning Machines (RCM) & dispeles the fable that collectors must expend huge sums on cleaning toys to enjoy music.

Steam Cleaning gives the LP collector options in the selection of record cleaning fluids and experience if fluid A is actually worth the effort over fluid B.

Should you already own a RCM ( as I) "Great", use its features to enhanse record cleaning. If not, no problem Steaming can do it all for you.

Readers: A trip to Walgreens revealed that they continue to offer a $10 rebate on the Perfection Steamer($20). For those of you that have not "steamed" but want to, please buy before the rebate offer is over.
