do record cleaning fluids soften the treble?


Over many years of cleaning records with fluids containing a surfactant (not specified) I have come to the opinion that the process leads to a very slight softening of the treble. After cleaning the sound was more"cosy" and less extended in the treble. However I did not get this effect with the VPI fluid that came with my 16.5 machine. It made the sound somewhat drier. Anyone else noticed this /these effects? Any idea why???

My position,experiences,impressions and approach to the issue of record cleaning mirror Salectric's to a tee.
I can understand a solution leaving behind things that fill the tiny grooves that represent the HF information. I'm not understanding how cleaning can soften bass. But then, that is not what I hear, and I prefer to clean all of my LPs. FWIW, YMMV, etc.
Rrm,
I felt that the sound did change and a little softening did occur. One day after playing a record it slipped and I grabbed so it would not hit the floor. I put finger prints all over it so I had to clean it. I had started doing a final rinse after cleaning my records but had not done it to this record because I had cleaned it a while ago. After a cleaning and a rinse I played it again, I found it had better all around sound, better hi's, bass was faster with more impact and the record had much better micro dynamics. I will now reclean the rest as I play them so I can do a final rinse on all records. I clean all record regardless, you can never tell how a record is handled by the manufacturer or dealer
Cleaning new and old lps is a must and a double rinse is the answer for clear noise free playback. What i find very interesting is if you dont include a small amount of a release agent to your rinse water you will leave behind residue.
