Solution for VPI record cleaning machine.

Does anyone have an alternative solution that can be used in the VPI cleaner. I have the large Cleaning machine and have been going through the solution pretty quickly. Is there something that can be substituted or made up, or do I need to order VPI's solution every time? Any and all advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank You.

I make-up my own, using a formula similar to SDcampbell's (above).

Distilled water and isopropyl alcohol (85% and 15% respectively), with about a teaspoon of "PhotoFlo" surfacant. This cleaner, with a double rinse of distilled water, works as good as any commercial product I have tried.

I have tried neither Bugtussle, nor Last (I have tried the Last cleaner, not the preservative), but I have tried most of the rest.

One caution, use alcohol only on vinyl, very old records were made of a different material and alcohol will ruin them!
