Proper Use of Record Research Lab Cleaners

Go to a Craft Store / Hobby Shop and buy a small plastic squeeze bottle with a curved, hollow, stem for a lid (about $.50). Fill it with the distilled water, and use it to apply a first wash to the record.
Next, apply the cleaner, and then rinse using the squeeze bottle and dist. H2O. Vacuum between applications.

Saturate your record cleaning brush with SVW ONLY, with the SVW bottle's flip top cap. Next, spray a small amount of SVW onto the record surface itself, enough to insure that the record surface will be completely wet. Gently rotate brush around the record, vacuum clean.

Do NOT use any grocery store distilled water before or after. Grocery store distilled water still contains many impurities that will attach themselves to the record surface.

RRL fluids do not require a rinse cycle. Following up with a distilled water rinse actually leaves behind contaminates.

Hmmm - the directions say apply RRL fluids to "fully wet record". I'm still not clear how to achieve that. What about getting triple de-ionized water somewhere and using that first?

Hello Peter,

The label of the Super Vinyl Wash bottle states, "Apply Super Vinyl Wash with soft applicator brush to fully wet record. Vacuum dry. Repeat process."

This suggests that you place SVW on the record, via flip top cap or fluid dispensor if your RCM is so equipped. You then rotate the brush around the record surface to fully wet the record. It's that simple!

Feel free to ask any further questions.

Good luck,
