Since we all agree that the rinse step is vital to a good cleaning, I choose to use the Casco Nerl Reagent grade water (5 gal- $55-) that was brought to my attention by JohnBrown. Although Pepsi and Aquafina may be a fine company they haven't undergone the rigorous testing for impurities that Nerl has, nor do they claim to.

Relax Crem1. You take yourself and this topic way too seriously. My Coke comment was referring to Swooten's Coke comment, and it had nothing to do with mocking Pepsi Co or making a negative remark against Aquafina. That's just a ridiculous accusation. I expect the topic of using Aquafina water to steam clean records is well down the priority list at Pepsi Co. You'll notice the link I posted was an Urban Legends website. Debunking urban myth. Pepsi Cola, by the way, has also been recommended along with Coke as a cleaning product. Something to do with the citric acid content. Again, it's been debunked if the urban myth reports are correct. If Aquafina works for steamers, then that's terrific. I'm still interested to learn from those who are into experimenting with different waters, how the sonic results of using Aquafina compares with NERL and distilled water. |
The Mapleshade steamer has an identical appearance to the SteamFast hand held steamer sold on Amazon.com (only 1 refurbished unit remains). Many of these small hand held steamers (Perfection, Living Solutions, SteamFast) are now difficult to find. |
