Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?

I think I will hold on to my Perfection as well. I saw an episode of "Monk" last night where Monk was fondling some LP's at his assistant's house. If he started trying to clean them, I am sure he would get off on some kind of delusionary tangent like on this thread, it would be hilarious.
It seems that most record cleaning threads start out practical and then gradually migrate into the obsessive compulsive ether .
I like to keep my record cleaning down to less than two minutes per record, and the steam rinse method seems to be compatible with this goal.

I like the steam rinse as well.

Walgreens refunded my money, so I'm on the lookout for a different steamer.

Or...maybe I'll buy it back at the lower price...

Tvad, do yourself a favor. Buy another type of record cleaner cleaner. From the context of your posts, STEAMING IS NOT FOR YOU!!!!!!!! And probably no record cleaning system will satisfy you. Cd's might be a good venue for you or maybe bowling.

Thomas, in my post directly above yours, I wrote that I liked the steam rinse step. I also like doing an initial steam before applying Audio Intelligent Step 1 and Step 2 cleaners, which I also like very much.

I do enjoy CDs as well as vinyl.

I do believe considering the persistent chemical smell coming from the Perfection steamer, any deep discussion about ultra pure water beyond ordinary distilled water that is free of solids is pointless since the water is obviously being contaminated by the steamer itself. I'm doubtful if this contamination does any harm whatsoever to the vinyl, but some seem to think it does, and I have no scientific evidence to prove either theory.

Buying a product with a cancer warning labels affixed to the bottom of the box in an area unlikely to be seen by 99% of consumers pisses me off because the placement was clearly done with forethought.

If you think I'm sensitive to cancer warnings, you're right. Earlier this year, I lost an uncle to cancer. Presently, I have two friends and a parent battling cancer. So yes, I'd like to avoid using products known to contain cancer causing chemicals...the Perfection Steamer being one.
