Can a small amount of bleach hurt your records?

I have been using L'Art du Son record cleaner and noticed that a whitish gray bacteria or some kind of growth has developed in my container. I was told that a few drops of bleach might control the problem but could it damage a record?

Halcro,

Steam sounds good to me, I wonder however if it would be safe to use while the record is on my VPI 16.5 record cleaner?

Zeal,
I use the steam while the disc is on my Raven/Hannl RCM.
Vacuum up the water after the steam as well as the water rinse.
As mentioned....there are oodles of threads on steam cleaning. Use the search function.
