CLEAN RECORDS WITH WHAT?????


I have a VPI 16.5 record cleaner and would like some idea's on some of the stuff people use to clean their records with. I'm not having a lot of luck getting these clean. I need some help.

This recipe came out of the Absolute Sound about nine years ago and has served me well since:One gallon of pure distilled water,one pint 97% alcohol,10 drops of Kodak photo-flow and 10 drops of windex.This will run you about a dollar per gallon.Alot further than a gallon of gas will get ya.No sonic degregation has occured on any of my records since using this formula and the sound is as good if not better than those so called mega buck cleaners.
a GALON of record cleaner?????????? What for???
Do you need to dip a record inside the bucket with record cleaning solution??

I own a vintage 8oz Memorex anti-static cleaner-conditioner which was sold as a kit along with Audio Exchange brush for a number of years. I acquired it from the record collector who was liquidating his vinyls and he gave it to me for free arround 3 years ago. He used it approximately for the same number of years if not more. Let me tell you -- the bottle doesn't seem to bring the level down so far(still have more than one half left).
If music direct sells their record cleaning solution in galons than whoever lives next to each other have to cooperate to buy one galon for at least 4 people.
Goliverjr,

The first time I used Torumat I bought a 16oz bottle. I suspect it's still available in that size. It's just cheaper to buy a gallon and keep refilling the smaller bottle. Of course, over the years I've cleaned maybe 3000 records and used several gallons. Someone with a more modest collection certainly would use much less.
