Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?

To All: I dishwashed the 6" attachment that continues to feel slick to the touch. I will soak in detergent & water , rinse an dry to see if I can reduce that slick(press release compounds)ness.

What is it ? Am I the only poster or is it an exaustion of ideas ?? Lots more to discuss .... If only with ....

Other ideas have been shared. You generally shoot them down and remind us how all proper steaming technique derives from you.

So, I believe everyone is just watching and learning from you, Crem1.

Halcro, I too am in Australia and picked up a hand held steam cleaner very easily. I went to Godfreys but you could try another vacuum cleaner store or even a department store or KMart or the like. Mine cost about $30 and works a treat. Just look around.

On the above discussion I do use the elbow attachment for convenience and if it starts getting a bit spitty I just run it for about 10 seconds spraying into the air and then steam the record. Works for me with no ill effects.

Tvad: Shooting down other people's ideas is not my view of a good time. I detest that. My only hope was that (perhaps) I was saving someone from a "Armor-All" moment including yours truly. With years more steaming time , I felt an obligation to give the best advice possible. Experimentation -- Go For It ! Steaming to the best of my knowledge has only improved a person's listening experimence. AND, thats a good thing.
