Alcohol is a no-no? I've used 70% water / 30% isopropyl alcohol for 25 or so years with excellent results. It doesn't get any cheaper and in my experience it doesn't get much better either.
Best Record Cleaning Fluid
Greetings All,
I’ve spend the last few days searching and reading about record cleaning fluids for my cleaning machine (Okki Nikki). Wow - there are a lot of options out there. Many more than I originally thought. Some real esoteric stuff that costs a pretty penny. I’m currently going through my entire collection, cleaning it, listening to it and adding it to a Discogs DB. Want to finally know how many I have and have a list of them. But doing this has resulted in me going through cleaning fluid rather quickly.
So many options, so many perspectives on what are the best fluids. What do you all say. I understand that alcohol is a no-no for fluids, but I can’t find out if some of them include alcohol or not. Currently using up the fluid that came with the machine, but no where can I read it if has bad ingredients.
The 2-stage or 3-stage cleaning systems are not going to happen. I did get a bottle of Revolv that I was told was good, and use if for new high quality pressings (as opposed to those I bought in high school).
Anyway, would appreciate some perspectives on good quality record cleaning fluids that don’t bust the bank. Thanks for keeping the sarcasm in check.
Happy Listening,
