Moldy L' Art du Son?

Hi, I've had nearly a full gallon on the afore-mentioned record cleaning agent stored for some time. I decided I would start using it, only to discover it had mold, or more likely, algae, growing in the bottom. Moving the container slightly caused the growth to become suspended in the solution for a time. Can this contaminent be filtered out, or does the whole thing have to be tossed?

Thanks,

Dan

I mixed a gallon with pure water and store it in the water bottle and in a fridge - cold and dark. Its nearly a year now and no sign of any mold. I've used just under a half during this time. It gets used with the excellent Loricraft PRC 3. Results are superb.

FYI : Many years ago I read an article outlining how to store record cleaning fluids in 1/2 to 1 gal.containers. Besides recommending putting the mixed product in "fridge" the article suggested 3 to 5 drops of bleach per container to retard the growth of bacteria/mold.

Thanks, guys for your replies. I've learned my lesson, now. If I buy more L' Art du Son, I will mix only in small quantities, and keep it in the fridge.
