Cleaning LPs: How hard should one 'scrub'?
I've been cleaning records for months now, but I've always wondered what the correct level of 'scrubbing' is.
For a few months I steam cleaned with great results but got tired of wet labels and switched to the Walker 4 step method.
How much do you just rely on the cleaning agents doing their thing versus elbow grease? To get dirt loose, do you just have to lightly move the brush over the record (and while spinning on the RCM?) or should hard pressure be applied? The Walker brushes don't look like they'd get down between the grooves without some amount of pressure but I'm always afraid to damage the LP....
Thanks in advance for your thoughts.
