If you regularly imbibe your alcohol-based record cleaner, you will not live to own your LPs as long as Mosin, or I. Alcohols with longer aliphatic side chains, like isopropanol (vs ethanol or methanol), will be more or less hydrophobic and have different properties as a solvent therefore, I think. Isopropanol, for example, may be better at removing fatty deposits from finger-prints, compared to Grey Goose.
is it safe to clean records with isopropanol ?
I've been thinking of making some home-brew record cleaner. Most of the online recipes use 20-25 % (or more) isopropanol.But some think this is not good for modern vinyl because it leaches out plastic stabilizers in the vinyl.Others think the ill-effects are due to contaminants in the isopropanol.I can get access to lab grade ISP so was wondering if you had any advice before I make the plunge. I have about 300 lps that I want to clean.
