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?.

Readers: Please do not sub-scribe to the notion that Steam Cleaning will absolutely remove all the offense sounds on a certain recording. It can not. Those noises related to a poor pressing or other manufacturing defects are there to stay ; no matter what cleaning process you use.

Has anyone found a good source for pure water? I am in Florida and have not been able to find those mentioned. I just spent 2 hours calling around to labs and pharmacies but again came up "dry". (This list needed a pun!)

Any thoughts... please let me know.

Thanks,
Paul

I just bought two bottles of "PEAK Battery and Radiator Mineral-Free water" from Pep Boys. To my surprise, I found "scaling/fouling" in these two bottles that I bought!!

I wonder if I bought the right thing?

Viper-z: I recently purchased a Gallon of Peak Battery Water only to find the water was fouled. I did not contacted the company; I suspect the contamination was caused by age of the product--too long on the shelf. In my case I strained the gook off (Too much effort) and used the Peak Water for a household steamer. I only hope our problems are not what we can expect in the future.
