Re: (313) Cleaning SEVERELY dirty records

[Michael . Elliot-Knight]

yeah, that's a good method - and you can get a microfiber, lint-free cloth
from places like Target (if you have one nearby).  Find them in the
houseware/cleaning area.  They're pretty cheap and do a good job of wiping
clean dirt (with use of the alcohol:water solution).

are you sure about the liquid soap?

 here's a useful record cleaner.
get a bottle of isopropyl (rubbing aclohol -  there are two types of
rubbing aclohol,in the states make sure it's the one with isoprpyl) ix it
with distilled water (it'll be at the supermarket). mix them about 1:8.

Hi Dennis,

Remove the external mould then use dishwashing liquid soap to clean them
with a soft cloth then dry them. Use a record cleaning machine to vacuum
the dirt from the grooves in these records if there are any local shops
that sells such services.

Regards,

Collin
