Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?

Doak , I deeply thank you : Your/our well-being is more important than money. Maybe Pep Boys can deliver ? Or forward by US post . Please tell Pep Boys to examine to make certian the product is clean. I along with others got a batch that was old and infected with small growths. I screened them out and use it & my old steamer for household cleaning. Many thanks , Charlie

I found a good source of water at a local lab supply shop here in Des Moines. Reagent grade type 1 water (Nerl) at 17.50 per gallon. Also deionized purified water that says it meets type 1 standards at $17 for 5 gallons. I guess I'll renig on my plan to use distilled water in the steamer and use deionized at this price. If we have a place like this in Des Moines I'm sure most of you around more major cities have similar options. It avoids shipping costs and it's probably a better grade than battery water? I wonder if Walker and AI ultra pure waters are similar to type 1 reagent grade.

Somewhere between yestersday and today, we are losing focus. Lots has already been doctumented on Water and Water Threads have outline the various water products , costs and potential advantages. Sorry, nothing that has not already been coverned in the our past posts.

Whats important is spend what you like , the degree of effectiveness over the recommended products , "real distilled water " and Peak Battery Water is questionable except as full rinses. Spend, spend and spend its your right.

Tvad : I presume you are using the hose attachment. I recommend the Perfection devoid of all attachments : It produces a oblonged steam cloud I find to be very good at laying a base of pressured steam into the groves. I have been told that putting the allachments into a dishwashers' top tier for a quick wash with a short drying time (montored)reduces the "plastic smell" . The use of attachments does enhanse the possibility of splurts and splaches(condensation in hoses and attachments). All the best.
