Steam cleaning records 2

Many of these small hand held steamers (Perfection, Living Solutions, SteamFast) are now difficult to find.

Tvad- Do you know why? Should I grab a spare while I still have access to them?

As far as the audible difference between rinses, I haven't developed the ability to hear the minute differences. By using the Casco Nerl I feel that I am doing my part to clean and protect my vinyl without introducing more contaminants than I started with. I don't doubt that some will claim to hear the difference in the products themselves. I still can't get over the fact that others can hear the difference during weather changes re: is it your hearing system that changes or the playback system that changes? But that is another question.

Love the Mapleshade steam gun, looks very 50's space movie style. Does it work as well as the others mentioned? Didn't realize how divesified the mapleshade guy was. Not happy about his use of old growth maple, though, even if he does employ the Amish to do it.

Tvad, maybe the new Coke is not the same formula, but in the olden days car collectors used coke to remove rust from chrome, first brought to my attention way back in the 70's by a marketing professor of mine, who was into vintage cars.

Funny you.....
The marketing class I was in tried it, and it does work, or did then, for rust...can't attest to any other miracle claims...it made several of us give it up way back then, as best we could.

Maybe this has already been covered here, but seeing the Mapleshade site, and seeing their claim of the steam reaching only 140 degrees, isn't that really more like misting than actually steaming (I think of steam as very hot). Why not just warm your cleaning fluids or preferred water to 140 or so and spray? Why the need for this so-called steamer?
And, one more, has anyone actually bought and used the Mapleshade steamer?
