Record cleaning fluid for degritter machine

Yes, the Tergitol and 91% isopropyl plus distilled water - readily available at most supermarkets - will make a fine combination for record cleaning!

Yes but how much of each?   I was thinking a couple or three drops of each should be added to the tank of distilled water after degassing.

Ditch the alcohol.  Mix Tergitol with distilled water.  I use 0.5% Tergitol, that is 0.5 ml/L (Tergitol/Water) then rinse with pure distilled water.  If you are cleaning mostly new or near new records, you could reduce the concentration down to one drop of Tergital to one liter of distilled water and no rinse.  I strongly recommend that you read Neil Antinn's book on cleaning records, which you can find on line for free. 

There's a long thread on Hoffman, after the discussion about the newness of the machine and its iterations, concerning surfactants. I think some users concluded that surfactant free was the way to go. The biggest issue, to me, is getting the residue off the record. You might find the thread addresses your question in terms of proportions and results. Neil weighed in there too as I recall. Good luck!

As a new Degritter owner I have to ask - what’s wrong with the manufacturer’s solution? I clean all new records and occasionally a chestnut from my garage storage.
