I agree with sonofjim that used in combination, the rcm and steaming produce outstanding results. With or without steaming, a good cleaning fluid, good brush to scrub(yes u must scrub) and a good rinze with very clean water (i like ro water), are requisites. Steaming does a wonderful job especially on those grundgy cheap records.
How do you steam clean vinyl LP's?
I've been thinking about purchasing a VPI 16.5 to clean my LP's, but I have read things here on A'gon about steam cleaning your LP's.
Steam makes sence to me, but how can you be sure it's not too hot, to where it might damage the vinyl?
Is there a machine that uses steam, and how does it work? Is there scrubbing, or any special solutions you use to combine with the steam? What dries the steam from the vinyl?
In advance, thanks!
