Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?

Tvad,

I've got the Perfection and had some sputtering with mine. I came upon a technique that may help. I haven't done it enough times to be sure that it works. Anyway, try this and see if it cuts down on the sputtering. I use the extension and the right angle attachment.

Pick up the steamer but before hitting trigger, tilt it back toward the handle a little and give it a couple of taps with your free hand. Try to keep it tilted back while you pull the trigger. I think I get much less sputter this way, but again I'm not 100% sure.

The sputtering may be caused by the tip getting clogged on occasion. To clear I pass a piece of 14g wire through it and back to a nice steady steam stream. BTW this is a great way to clean records, mine have never been cleaner.
My system for cleaning-
I have an old player that I use- put the record on and give a 2-3 second blast from 4-5" with the record turning. Then I apply a few drops of my home brew and cover the surface of record with a 1" Purdy paint brush gently spreading. I then give another 2-3 second blast. Put the brakes on the record and use my modified velvet covered vacuum wand to remove all liquid and matter leaving a gorgeous better than new record.
Thanks to Crem1 and all the others for showing me how to clean records like a pro without buying a $500 plus machine. This is my meditation prior to playing and I take pride in my cleaning that I wouldn't get by throwing them in a machine and waiting.
