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. |
Many of these small hand held steamers (Perfection, Living Solutions, SteamFast) are now difficult to find. Tvad- Do you know why? Should I grab a spare while I still have access to them? As far as the audible difference between rinses, I haven't developed the ability to hear the minute differences. By using the Casco Nerl I feel that I am doing my part to clean and protect my vinyl without introducing more contaminants than I started with. I don't doubt that some will claim to hear the difference in the products themselves. I still can't get over the fact that others can hear the difference during weather changes re: is it your hearing system that changes or the playback system that changes? But that is another question. |
05-21-09: Zenblaster I don't know why. All I know is a search of the Walgreen's website doesn't return any results. I'm sure you know Walgreen's was the retailer for both the Perfection and Living Solutions steamers. Crem1 has commented earlier in this thread about having a supply source. By using the Casco Nerl I feel that I am doing my part to clean and protect my vinyl without introducing more contaminants than I started with.This seems to be the central reasoning behind using specific waters. My curiosity surrounds the importance of using water with fewer contaminants if no differences can be heard during playback of the record. Also, if one's goal is the preservation of vinyl records by cleaning with water containing fewest contaminants, then why would one compromise by using anything other than the purest water available? |
