Will this stuff ruin my records?

I just bought a bottle of “Boundless Record Cleaning Fluid..” I’m suspicious of it for a couple of reasons. #1 it has the odor of clothes cleaning fluid and #2 It’s designed to be rubbed on and off the record with a cloth; I’m using it in a VPI cleaning machine.

Does anyone have experience with this product?
I’ve never used a cleaning solution that smelled before.

@rvpiano,

You may wish to reconsider - Dirt accumulating on stylus after record cleaning | Steve Hoffman Music Forums - see post #20.

The only way you will know for sure is to try it on a less desirable record.  The better it sounds after cleaning, the better the solution.   I can only think the VPI will improve its performance, not hinder it.

Never mind.  Thank you.
I just used it, and the record actually was worse than before.

Returning it!
