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?.

My local PepBoys only has old inventories. I'll go to my local wholefood market to find the "Rain Fresh" distilled + triple filtered water.
All,
Does steaming remove manufacturing residues on new records??

LAST factory sold 3/4 Oz of their power clean solution for $40! I'm really not sure if I should go for it.

Thanks
I just bought two bottles of "PEAK Battery and Radiator Mineral-Free water" from Pep Boys. To my surprise, I found "scaling/fouling" in these two bottles that I bought!!

I wonder if I bought the right thing?

Drubin,
You're kidding me! I'm located right at the heart of TEXAS - Houston - and guess what, I can't find "Rain Fresh" in any of the Wholefood market stores that I just visited today!!!!! (I went to three stores!)

The purest water I can find is from Walmart, it's their standard "distilled water" $0.99 per gal. The label says the water has been treated by distillation, carbon filter, microfilter, reverse osmosis, UV treatment, ozonation. That pretty much sounds like the "Rain Fresh" that I was supposed to find.
