Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?

Sondale, Thanks for all the kind words...It means a lot to me. I have received a voice-mail response. They said that international plug-on' wall-warts are ok. Unfortunately, the message didn't leave a clue to the exact unit to buy. Maybe that's my problem for not being more specific. We shall find out for I left a message for further info.

FYI :My Dad to his passing expressed love for the "English" as he prepaired for the Normandy . Surely, I can do no less in honor of Dad and you than get a clear answer .

God save Your Queen, Charlie

Hi Sondale

I'm in UK (Wales) and caught up with this thread yesterday. Then I happened to be in a Lidl store yesterday afternoon and they had handheld steamers like those described for £15.00. Bought one but haven't tried it yet.

UK friends, I hope a store is close to sondale's residence. I still intend to follow-up on the exact wall wart for the SF 227.

I got a steamer from Walgreens, got it set up next to my VPI RCM. During the vacuum cycle I steam the record at the same time, they come out squeeky clean. I just use a home brew of distilled water, alcohol and dish soap to clean and distilled water in the steamer.

I have stopped using record cleaning fluids during steaming. I Just use R/O water in the Perfection steamer, steam twice. I don't think they would come out any better using cleaning fluids. Also it's a cheap way to go too. R/O water costs me .49 cents a gallon at the tropical fish store. Anybody else using R/O water to steam clean their records? Any comments?
