3-5 times in each direction. Then a vigorous back and forth scrub of every section on the record. Let sit for about 30 sec, then another 1 or 2 times in each direction. Then vac dry using a Nitty Gritty machine.
I get about 10-12 records cleaned per batch of mixed fluid. I am consistently amazed at how much effluent is in the basin when I am finished. Startling to realize that all of the dirt in the water came from your 10-12 records.
Key (to me at least) is a vac dry after cleaning.
My results are excellent, with a significant reduction in background noise. Some records sound like new. That said, there is always room for improvement, and I am investigating the various DIY ultrasonic cleaners. I would use the SC for pre US scrubbing, then the US to get of the remaining dirt. It think US is the next level of cleaning as nearly all users report improvement compared to a VPI or similar machine.
