Steam cleaning records 2

I just ordered the Mc1235 too. I figured worst case, my car engine and BBQ grill will benefit.

I'm currently using a little Rowenta steamer. It "sort of" works but doesn't hold enough water and starts spitting pretty quickly. But even with that one my records are cleaning up beautifully. And I don't have a vac machine either. Even the "lost causes" have new life.

In the quest for an affordable rinse agent, I found this

It's a step below the NERL REAGENT GRADE WATER, but the cost is less than half. An analysis can be found here

Does this look like a step up from garden variety distilled water?

Be certain to do a double blind test with NERL Reagent, NERL High Purity, and distilled water and report back.

Be certain to do a double blind test...

Right. All I want is something better that the distilled I've been buying at Walmart. I'll let someone else do the Consumer Report. :)

Ho72, Try Peak Battery water @ $3.00 gal; its an excellent product and is sold @ Pep Boys Auto Stores. I use it myself with excellent results because the water besides being distilled , has been filtered , demineralized and deionized. One suggestion, examine/shake the container to assure the product is not so old that mold has started to grow. In all the years I have been using Peak Battery Water I did have one "bad" gallon that I filtered & used around the home with no problems.
