When Cleaning Records with...

Jmoog08 get a small shop vac and use the 4 inch attachment with a good cotton wash cloth around it, cut a small slit in it. Use a lazy susan to spin the LP and hold the vac head on the surface to get the fluid off of the LP. I used this method for quite awhile with fine results.
As far as Disk Doctor fluids i have not encountered any problems with sound using it. In fact of the fluids i have tried Miracle cleaner is my favorite.

I have had very good results with the fluids made by Audio Intelligent. I just use the cheapest Nitty Gritty cleaner, and it does make a tremendous difference in the sound of my records, unless it's just a bad pressing, as unfortunately happens much of the time.

for the VERY best cleaning, steam is the ONLY way to go. Try it you'll like it.

Learsfool, I agree 100% with your approach. Probably because I've been following it myself :-) My first manual Nitty Gritty was in regular service for 20 years. The second one (actually a Record Doctor clone) I bought here on Audiogon for $80 and have used for 4 years. The first one is in the closet, still functional, but I figured it couldn't last forever. And the Audio Intelligent stuff is great. Dave

I do the steam cleaning on the ubiquitous 16.5 and AI fluids and generally have a 50% reduction in noise, often more.
