Can a small amount of bleach hurt your records?


I have been using L'Art du Son record cleaner and noticed that a whitish gray bacteria or some kind of growth has developed in my container. I was told that a few drops of bleach might control the problem but could it damage a record?

Zeal,
Thanks for the compliment.
I'm in Sydney and bought a SteaMatey from Godfreys which cost AU$30 (US$20). From the photos I've seen, it seems to be nearly identical to the Perfection Cleaner from Walmart?
I agree with Doug (again)......why use a cleaner that fosters the impurities you are trying to remove?
I find steam followed by a distilled water rinse to work better than any cleaning fluids I have tried.
Halcro,

Steam sounds good to me, I wonder however if it would be safe to use while the record is on my VPI 16.5 record cleaner?
Zeal,

there are a couple of loooong threads on steaming and rcms.. No issues. I'm, steaming and sucking it all up with a vpi 17. Works for me!
Fyi, i'm using the Mintlp solution. Works a treat! Yes the very same mint as in mint tractor. yip is a multi talented guy!
Zeal,
I use the steam while the disc is on my Raven/Hannl RCM.
Vacuum up the water after the steam as well as the water rinse.
As mentioned....there are oodles of threads on steam cleaning. Use the search function.
