I worked for Discwasher back then and the company was pretty well immersed in the audiophile culture. I still have some friends from those days and I still have some equipment left over since we were the US importer of Stax and Denon. Some of the stuff has aged out of service but my Stax preamp is still going strong.
Vinyl records & Discwasher cleaner
My vinyl record collection was stored for 40 years with multiple moves through out the years. Last stop was work. One day I entered my office and unexpectedly found boxes of 700 albums. Someone needed space and without asking piled them in office. Moved them to my home. Got me thinking. Divorced, kids out, home with rooms I can play loud without disturbing neighbors. Why not go for it. I restarted my journey back into the HIFI world. Turned out to be an expensive move.
Now a days, as with most, streaming is the preferred mode of transportation in the journey if HIFI. From time to time, I pull a record out to play. Most of the time I’m stunned when I hear most of them have little pops or other noises, if at all. Then I remember that I was pretty religious about cleaning them before play with Discwasher cleaner.
Does anyone else remember using Discwasher with their records back in the 70’s? sure there’s a few of you young chaps that used it.
Not sure when they stopped selling them. Most likely early 80’s when CDs done them in.

@vinylvin - Thanks for sharing. I checked out the website. Very professional website. They are in a niche market. I didn't think it was that large nowadays. @bloodyhell and others.
