Spin Clean fluid


Has anyone used the Spin Clean fluid (of course, mixed with the appropriate amount of distilled water) with an RCM with good results? I want to movie up from a Spin Clean to either a VPI 16.5 or an Okki Nokki and don't want my bottle of Spin Clean fluid to go to waste.

Spin Clean does a pretty good job, but I shudder when I see the lint and "stuff" floating around in the bath. I think the bath has to be replaced more frequently than advertised. 
One downside for me is the SC requires setup space for drying towels and drying rack. It's a time consuming ritual. And it isn't cost effective to clean a single record. With an RCM, you just put on the lp, apply the cleaning solution, brush and vac and it's done! Turn the RCM off and play the record. I don't have a lot of spare time. I would rather maximize my listening time. Not bad mouthing the Spin Clean. I just think you kind of get what you pay for. Fortunately I can now afford something a little better. 
Good suggestion.
I've settled on an Okki Nokki and know it comes with it's own cleaner. I also have Audio Intelligent #6 that I will use with the rcm. Again, I think the Spin Clean is ok; I just look forward to the convenience of the Okki Nokki. The results I achieved on my friend's ON seemed to better that of my Spin Clean. I too used to spread stuff (the SC, towels, and drying rack) out on my carpet and sit cross legged on the floor.  My legs went to sleep after two records. And again, it's simply a lot of setup and cleanup when cleaning only one or two records. I never encountered the static problem you did. You might want to make sure your furnace's humidifier is working properly.  Anyway, thanks for the input.
