Vinyl Cleaning


Is there a home brew solution for vinyl cleaning such as alcohol or distilled water? Also is there a particular style of brush that can be used (i.e. horse hair) to use with the cleaning solution?

Thanks

If you want record cleaning formulas goto www.tnt-audio.com/

The DIY section has lots of different brews.

Listen to the Psychic...
Rushton: good to know someone else uses essentially the same solution. The formula I use was provided to me by a now deceased friend, who made a part-time living buying estate collections of LP's and re-selling them -- mainly to the Japanese collector market. My friend David probably cleaned 30,000 LP's over a 15-year period using the formula I recommend, and he never had any problems with it. Furthermore, this solution tastes GREAT -- and, it's less filling!
Sdcampbell: At one time I recall Anthony Cordesman describing essentially this same formula in a TAS article. Interesting how information seems to get shared in this small community of ours.
I use Divinyl Lp Cleaner, it works great even on the dirtiest records. It can be found on the seller's online store or Amazon.

I know you probably intended this to be amusing, but it isn’t. Isopropyl alcohol - which Rushton uses - is a poison. It can be deadly.
