Deep Cleaning Records With Steam?

Do you use the Walgreen's steamer?

I bought one of those from my nearest Walgreens.

How far from the LP do you hold the steamer?

About 6" regularly but if I notice a tought spot, I steam it about 1-2" away.

What nozzle are you using?

Use the elbow nozzle.

Allvinyl Jahaira has answered your questions like i would. The only difference is i hold the nozzle 1 to 2" away for all cleaning. You will notice on some Record company labels that a wavieness of the vinyl will happen when steaming. Dont worry the lp will return to its original shape. Experiment on a lp or two thats in real bad shape that you dont play for that reason, hear what results you achieve. If that works then go for one of your favorites and listen to the difference for the better. Happy Steaming.

Now that you mention the warping ( while steaming), I noticed that one record already warped, after steamed, dicreased its original warp. It's still warped but about 40-50% less after than before. Have anyone else noticed this?

FYI: Today I received a flyer from Walgreens indicating they are offering a $10 rebate for the Perfection hand held steam cleaner; thats $ 19.00 not bad.

On TV I did notice a hand steamer "The Monster 1200" that currently sells for $67.00 and claims to have a separate chamber for liquids that can be spritzed into the steam chamber moments before release with a head of steam. I don't know a thang other than the info commerical; the web site is only a replay of the commerical sans any details or specs. Should anybody know more please relate.

Hi all, I have been happily steaming away for for a couple of months now, and I have found other uses for steaming. You know how the Onzow Zerodust gets full of dust after awhile, and needs to be cleaned? I remove the gel bubble from the box, place it on the upside down box, and steam it clean. It comes out looking like new, and seems to return it to the very sticky condition as when new. Highly recommended! Also, works well on record cleaning brushes.
Enjoy,

Dan
