kah5683 Posted April 25, 2020 Share Posted April 25, 2020 I have a bottle of Realistic professional anti-static record cleaner fluid to be used with my discwasher record brush. I used the fluid last 35-40 years ago, and it seems about 1/2-2/3 full. Is it still good? Will the brush, without fluid, work well enough? If the bottle is no good, is there a DIY mixture I could make up? If not, where would I get fluid like this again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cemeterytapes Posted April 26, 2020 Share Posted April 26, 2020 Not that I know much about record cleaner fluid, but I do wet clean my records on a vacuum machine and I'd never personally use old fluid - just sounds like a bad idea to me. I use MoFi Super Record wash, you can't really buy it super cheap in small quantities but a 32oz bottle (which is $30) tends to last me about 400-ish records in my cleaning machine.

ajxd Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I did a LOT of record cleaning research back when I was a grad student. Now as a lab director in metagenomics, I have some strict rules on cleanliness of solutions. I throw out water in clean-rooms after a year. The growth of microbial communities can be seen in less than a month from opening a sterile water bottle. I would throw out your bottle. Buy a MoFi Super Record Cleaner Wash, and you'll be good to go. DIY is just not worth it overall. I used to make lab grade record cleaner for people on this site 10yr ago. Cost for quality DIY vs MoFi is negligible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
