Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?


It has happened again. Major tweak and record provider has available a steam cleaner made especially for records. Anybody try steam for cleaning lp’s? What were your results? Since a unit can be had for about $20 at Target, 15% of what the tweak provider is charging, is it worth a try?.

I too purchased a Perfection steam cleaner at Walgreens and got great results. One day I wanted to clean a record and the Perfection was not turned on, but our steam iron was sitting on the ironing board still hot, so I added distilled water to it and used the steam setting.

Same result! Very fine mist of steam, very clean record.

This good news for me because it's one less piece of stuff to keep in my small workshop. Also the iron shuts itself off after 10 minutes or so.
