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?.

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?
WillbeWill,

I think you must be very happy today - I thought Wales played magnificently - also thanks for letting us be second.
There is a Lidl near me so I will visit on Monday and see what they have.
