Steam cleaning records 2

Madfloyd I used walkers cleaning system. For me steaming is better for a
Quite playing record with better sound though before I discovered
This thread that's what I used.
When I steam clean my lps I use a vpi 16,5 to spin the lp while steaming
Starting at the outside of the lp and work my way to the inside when
I reach the dead wax I stop and the label stays dry. You also
Could use a drinking glass with a large mouth to cover the label

When I steam cleaned, I started at the edge and moved in towards the center but the spray of the steamer would splash upon hitting the LP... I don't see how you couldn't help but get the label wet.

In any case, thanks for the response.

I have not had problems with impacting labels unless i have a lot of cleaning fluid or rinse water on the record when i steam. The plume of the steam should be controlled to avoid hitting the label. Takes a little practice but worked well. I spin with one hand and direct the steam with another(i have a manual TT platform that I use to clean and steam on)

wow steam cleaning huh? i might look into that.

currently i use a microfiber cloth and a spray (40/60 mix of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water).
