Can a small amount of bleach hurt your records?


I have been using L'Art du Son record cleaner and noticed that a whitish gray bacteria or some kind of growth has developed in my container. I was told that a few drops of bleach might control the problem but could it damage a record?

waler audio has a 4 step solution that uses fresh enzymes (mix a batch for the days cleaning) to clean - very effective

bleach - I'd be afraid to test
use an old thrift store record to try
Hi,
I have tried Chlorine dissolved (bleach), actually to prevent algae from growing in my waste container of my Hannl Mera.
No problem, algae dead, records are fine.
Just don't put too much 1 ounce/quart sound fine to me.
A few drops won't hurt, but if your solution is growing things those dead carcasses are going to wind up on your LPs. If it were me, I'd dump the old stuff and get a fresh batch. Keep it cool and in the dark to prevent future regrowth.
What Dan_Ed said, and more.

Why use a "cleaning" solution that promotes the growth of the very stuff you're trying to remove from the LP? Bug food for removing bugs? No such reports regarding the current generation fluids from AIVS, MoFI or Walker have ever surfaced, as far as I know.
Zeal,
I experienced exactly the same thing using L'Art du Son with grey algae settling and growing at the bottom of the solution.
I steam clean now and certainly wouldn't use L'Art du Son again.
