Ultrasonic cleaning


How many of you are ultrasonic cleaning your records and what solution are you using? I have a Kirmuss ultrasonic machine and I am currently using Tergikleen solution with distilled water. Have some Audio Intelligence ultrasonic solution on order to try. I can tell a big difference with noisy records lowering the noise floor.

@lnitm   I use an ultrasonic machine with a tank of Distilled water, a cap full of Spin-Clean washer fluid MK3, about 2 drops of Mr. Clean and a 1/2 cap full of Kodak Photo-Flo 200.  The photo-flo causes the water to sheet off without any spotting.  Taking the arm out of the water bath, I can rest the LP on it's edge sitting on a towel.  Bone dry in about 15 minutes.  I find I can clean many LPs before I need to change the water.  My one no break rule is never let anything touch the surface of the LP after it has been cleaned.  NOTHING.  😆
