cleaning gritty surface noise on LPs

Could that “something” that happened to make LPs noisy have anything to do with using one or more of those LAST products? Perhaps a very long term effect manifested after a few decades? I don’t have an opinion; just wondering out loud.

Ultrasonic cleaning is a fad and the process has extreme limitations.

That's a remarkable statement from someone who previously claimed that most LPs needed no more cleaning that could be provided by a simple conductive sweep arm.

A Fad???? LOL that is the most ridiculous comment I have ever read (well maybe not the most but damn close)   I get the most Amazing results with my cleaning mix in a Ultrasonic bath and a distilled rinse and Vacuum dry.  I have been doing this for over a year and will not be stopping.

Unless you have an industrial clean room in your house using any vinyl cleaning method that uses an evaporative drying technique, air or fan simply re-contaminates the record with the crap floating around in the air. Records have to be vacuum dried which is why so many machines do this. The companies that rely on air of fan drying need to take a class in environmental science. So, if you are going to try cleaning your records ultrasonically you also have to buy a machine to vacuum dry them. This is an expensive messy process and a royal PITA. While you are trying to dry one side the other is being contaminated dripping all over your machine. Machines like the Nessie effectively clean one side at a time and vacuum dry it immediately then you flip to the other side. If time is a consideration, which it is for me, get a Clearaudio Double Matrix Sonic Pro which is handily the best vinyl cleaning device on the market as it cleans and vacuum dries both sides at the same time. 3 minutes and you have a clean record. 

I repeat ultrasonic cleaning of vinyl is a silly proposition. It is great for Jewelry. Have fun wasting your time and contaminating your records.

                    Sorry didn't mention this,  I have a vacuum machine I dry the record with and no I do not live in a "clean room"   Boy your a bit Snarky with your "Wasting time and I'm contaminating my records" comment. My records go into new either Mofi Anti static sleeves or Invest in Vinyl sleeves right after listening to the results. My results for my cleaning process (which ends with my Ultrasonic Machine then distilled rinse and Vacuum dry) Blows your "Wasting time and Contaminating my records" Out of the Water.   Anyways Happy Holidays to you and Yours. 

Kindest Regards,
