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?.

Ok...So far ... But what of the chemicals creating the "smell"? Those chemicals are being leeched than deposited in small quanities on the LP. Do as you like , in 3 or 5 years should you find a brittleness in the steamed LPs be forwarned. I have been doing this work for far longer than anyone elese. To expect the same results the steaming must be duplicated . Your email has convinced me that I must produce a DVD and put a short spot on You Tube. Don't expect it tomorrow but soon. Its not my responsibilty to accept anothers judgement that could have far reaching conequences to their LP collection. Do you think I haven't applied Steam Cleaning with a hose and understood the potential consequences years ago. Say what you will, I am always looking in the tall grass not only for elephants but the mice... I worry about the repercussions before I recommend. All the best.

Crem as you can see i use the 90 degree attachment with perfection in conjunction with VPIs 16.5, i aim the steam spray right into the grooves in the direction that the stylus contacts the modulations in the vinyl. I experience no problems using perfection this way. And find i get a better cleaning job on my vinyl using this procedure.
Looking forward to your video.
I have pictures of my home built gem dandy / groovmaster combo if anyone is interested I can email you direct and you are free to use as you wish.

Does anyone know of a dual-voltage hand-held steamer?
I'm in Australia where it's 240 volts and believe it or not.........you cannot seem to be able to buy one in this country?
