Cleaning records. How often really?

As for the Panasonic record brush -- looks very cool! But it won't remove static from a record because it's not grounded

Hi Nsgarch
What a cool gift from an audio buddy - don't you think ?
I don't have a static problem, so as long as it picks up the lint and does not make any static - I'm ok with that.

I may call All-Spec out of curiosity to see is there is a wetting agent in there.
Just curious because I use one in the formula I make up.
btw - I remember our phone call - four years ago ?

I'd be very interested to hear if All-Spec will confirm that the former Premier record cleaner contains the exact same ingredients as the Electrical Contact Cleaner.

When a record comes into my possession, whether it is new , used and clean in appearance
or used with remnants of mishandling, regardless they get run through the Loricraft I have
used for decades twice then placed in a new inner sleeve. Handled properly and lightly brushed
before play and put back in the sleeve they never see the cleaner again.  

If anyone wants to inquire about the Premier product and if it was different from the (regular) Micro Care contact cleaner, the company to call is Micro Care. They were the ones who (also) supplied Premier (for which Smart Devices used to charge $19.95!) but apparently Premier as a separate product is no longer supplied to the online audiophile outlets.

Hi Gpgr4blu

Jordan of Micro Care told me (by phone/email) that they are the same product except the new one includes Acetone as well.

******************************************************

Me - Hi Jordan. per our call is this the same product.

Jordan - That is an older product of ours. The CCC replaced it a few years back. I believe chemically, the main difference is the inclusion of the acetone

Me  - So the older product that says premier is the same as the Micro Care just without the Acetone ?

Jordan - Here is the SDS for the older product. As you can see the main difference is the inclusion of acetone.
