Cleaning Multiple records at once recipe...

Hi folks had success cleaning records in 'Light Wash' setting with hot water manually shut down and small amount of Cascade liquid detergent.
The record surfaces come out PERFECT and labels are untouched once dried.
Placed some 78rpm, and pressings of various years from 50's to 80's, 90's and none got warped or damaged among all placed.
Than fit about 20 valuable records onto the tray, push button and BINGO. The quality of cleaning is near or above VPI.
The cycle took about 15m for light wash

Automatic dishwasher detergent has a lot of grit in it to do the equivalent of sandblasting to do the cleaning because you are not there to rub the dishes. I do wonder if the use of such abrasives, and the possibility that some might remain lodged in the groove, makes this a dangerous proposition.

I don't even use the dishwasher for good glassware or dishes because of the abrasion. Glassware becomes hazy from the sandblasting with abrasives.

I only use tiny drop per 20 records.
I sell records at the store front and often buy collections that aren't clean.
Can't spend time to clean them individually in VPI that I have.
I land on VPI only pricey records.

Interesting way to clean records, but not as strange as the wood glue method, I'm sure some of you have heard of.

However, this is the most ridiculous way on How to clean your vinyl records.
