A CHEAP AND VERY EFFECTIVE RECORD CLEANING SOLUTION.

Over the years I’ve tried most of the record cleaning products out there, including the expensive stuff. Here’s what I’ve been using for many years now. It is totally biodegradable and will do no damage to your valuable LPs, and will get them sparkling clean.

Use one capful to a gallon of distilled bottled water. Use no more than the suggested capful. More is not better in this case. This will cost only pennies per gallon.

I still follow the recipe and method in Rushton's article. It's pretty comprehensive and has served me well. Easy to implement once you source the ingredients.

@whart Yes, Rush relocated to a smaller space and moved to all an all digital headphone rig because of the constraints. His Walker table, Avalon, Atma-sphere monos etc. plus a ROOM full of LPs made things a challenge. 

VPI users, when I used a 16.5 for many years, I found rinses a requirement. The 4step Walker products including enzyme mixing and 2 rinses worked best. But now I find the Rushton Paul method much more effective even though I'm using a simple inexpensive, one frequency Ultrasonic machine. Cheers,
