Yes it does and funnily enough I have been using it today in a cleaning frenzie actually, I have seen it for sale in HMV as well 50p cheaper than Rogers

Its not bad gets off any visible muck, fingerprints and such, think it does something to do with static too allways used to give the cloth you get with it a good soaking with the solution and put it in a plastic bag to take with me and give the records a quick wipe befor playing them, Dusty records are a big no no, every time the needle hits a bit of dust it causes a spark! which cant be no good for the vinyl

How much where it then Karen?,

think Roger's is a fiver and this was 4.50, HMV Kenny, you know the record shop, some of the branches also do very nice 50 boxes for £14.99 as well

I`ve bought gallons of this stuff from Banksy-next time I`m going to His Master`s Voice, Ma`am!!!

I didn't see it till after I bought some and to be fair I should imagine HMV get it cheaper than Roger does anyway and HMV aren't open at 3am

And i`m sure Rodger,will have the freedom to negotiate on multiple purchases,too!!

Well, there`s a website address on the bottle, maybe we can buy it direct!

De-ionised water mixed with a tiny tiny amount of upvc cleaner is just as good, put it in a small hand sprayer (about 99p from homebase) with the nozzle on fine mist. Much cheaper

Have you seen what that stuff does to a record when you use it alone

Washing up liquid on a bit of cotton wool with a dab of water cleans them up perfect.

That's why i said , tiny tiny amount. You will probobly find that it is a similar mix in that can, just de-ionised water & a tiny amount of a cleaning agent

I used to work for a company that specialised in degrading polymers, in fact their degradable carrier bags are used by tesco, wilkinsons etc etc, a couple of their consultants were 2 of the top 5 macro-molecular polymer scientists/proffessors in the world.

I once asked them about cleaning vinyl, they said the record cleaner advertised would be ok on vinyl but to be careful on styrene also keep it off the labels.

just on another note the said avoid washing up liquid like the plague...shampoos and even boot polish are known to rot certain types of polymers fairly quickly, and modern washing up liquids are fairly brutal with carbons ...i was told.

They said distilled water on its own was probably the best and that tap water could introduce lime into the grooves and cause damage over time if left and not cleaned properly.

Geeoooordie

WELL THAT'S FUCKED MY COLLECTION THEN.................

Brett Fear not im sure you would have to use furry lip squid raw to have the desired rotting effect,

But it is one to watch they did say styrene was more prone to attack than vinyl

Geeooordie

All is not lost Brett, you can get the washing up liquid out with these.

Thats handy, i clean my teeth with that combination......

Never had a problem with washing up liquid been using it for 30 odd years, and yes I even used boot polish years ago to re-groove a record, it works but wrecks your stylus.

Always use a cut of distilled water and pure isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol.

This seems to do the trick and is a darn sight cheaper than the proprietary brands.

Got some funny looks in the chemist shop here when I asked for a pint bottle of isopropyl - think they thought I was gonna drink it.................

Take care,
