@ShadeyBladey just the opposite happens using steam to get grease, grime, dirt, oils, release compounds and everything else that gets in those grooves and causes noise to disrupt our enjoyment of the music. You dont leave the steam in one place or get to close so no harm is done only cleaning for...

to reply to your 1st quote glad Columbus was smart enough to take a chance. 2nd records are produced under high heat also the tracking of your stylus creates up to 500 degrees of heat so you can forget about the steamer heat its no torch btw. 3rd i play lps everyday possible and have logged thous...

hello yes i am steaming the surface of the LP just not getting real close its not necessary to get any closer to the grooves and when finished the quiet playback proves that. I do mention using the DeStat before during and after the cleaning process for beating back static. As you can see i wet v...

We have have something in common the love of vinyl. My method works but you may want to try your own ideas and spin off some.

yes using the purest water available is highly recommended even if you vacuum. Some of the liquid will be left on the surface of the LP and what ever impurities that are in the water used will be left in the grooves. The lest of any foreign objects in those grooves equals quieter and better playb...

ugarmada it sounds like the record your talking about has inner groove distortion caused by neglect or misadjusted tone arm. Once the harm is done there is no way to repair it. I had a super sounding Eagles lp with the same problem. Sorry but you will have to locate another copy of that lp. Hows ...

UnchainTheNight1 hello and thanks for your comment. Any wet cleaning is better than not. What the steaming does along with the cleaner and brushing is get down to the bottom of the grooves and remove any and all of the micro dirt, oils, and general funk that gets down there. Then the use of lab g...

RetroCaptain thanks for posting yes any cleaning you can do helps to reduce those crackles and pops. Your way is how i cleaned my vinyl for a long time. Steaming will bring you a quieter playing record and vacuuming will get most of the residue out of the grooves and that is big also for better s...

@cranie4 no worries with labels they dont even get wet. By the time you reach the dead wax the spray does not reach the label. If you use a large mouthed glass or similar can be used to cover the label. I do steam every lp i play used or new. I take longer steaming on those really dingy flea mark...

@recordjunkie1968 no i would not use steam on shellac discs. Disc Doctor has special cleaner for those records. I have no experience with 78s at all and believe a good web search would be a thought for you. Thanks for checking out my Steam Cleaning Process and good luck with your shellac 78s. Mike
