Putting rats ass's aside , I wish to reframe the question, perhaps for the better so we can all agree.
The concern is not with cones , hoses or any other useful attachment that could better promote a more productive method to deep steam clean records. The concern is focused on the chemicals used to manufacture those potentally helpful attachments. And, that leads to a recommendation we advoid those attachments until we know with some scientific certianity those chemicals we all agree we can smell ,or touch, are harmless to our records and ourselves.
This view similar to a child's toys, we do not wish to ban the toys but the compounds that are we feel are a danger to the child. Since our LPs have no lobby in Congress it is up to us to regulate the matter for ourselves.
Closely, alined to the chemical concerns are safety issues , as well as ,recommendations that are well intended but may have unintended consequences.
For instance, most if not all of the consumer handheld steaming units come from China. That fact alone should give us pause in light of its track record on contamination to reconsider our positions.
Put aside the small stuff , lets look at the big picture : Can we remove those chemicals with household cleaners ,dishwashers or not ?
And secondly, why trust those that fail to have the welfare of ourselves and our families in mind ? Audio aside, the "anything goes" crowd is a danger, particularly when they try to get their hands in your money pocket.
Can we all agree on the above as a starting point to resolve the stated concern(s) ? Thank you for reading and good night.
