Dear chas.,

How, do you think thoes old LP records should be cleaned prior to playing again.

.

I have a record that has been stored for probably forty years.

.

It is in mint condition except for the ...some sort of stuck-on white dust (it ain't actually dust), it may be some residual thing from the atmosphere.

.

I wiped it with a wet then dry facial tissues; any better soultions, buddy?

cheers.

Hmm, that's tough. I might try a micro-fiber cloth (like for cleaning camera lenses or glasses) and some *really* mild soap. Be careful about rubbing, if there is *any* grit left over (ie: not fully cleaned out), rubbing could cause scratching due to the grit.

There used to be (sticky) roller devices but that's bad cuz it drives dirt *into* the grooves. So careful washing is probably better.

Best of luck !

@Docnolan1953 Thanks very much for your suggestion.

.

Cheers.

del-boy.

@Docnolan1953 another good thing I use is one of those electrostatic dust attractors......better than rubbing.

[Docnolan1953]

@MoilAndToil the white stuff may be a kind of mold.....wash off in lukewarm water....(not hot......it'll warp the disk) proceed from there.

I hear Nancy Wilson in her voice, (not the white rock singer)

...this side was originaly on the 'Time' record label. There's a tune called 'Sunday' that kills. Could you post that !

(the best way to clean off old sides is to use a luke-warm wash cloth and wipe in the same direction as the tone-arm/needle would. Don't use soap 'cause it may leave residue that will actually pick up more sheeit, dig !?!)

Dear chaszolin, Thanks very much for your response and great suggestions. . I will be sure not to rub the existing grit into the record. . Many thanks. . P.S. I like Carmen McRea singing: "I'm always drunk in San Francisco" . I have an audiotape copy of this ancient recording, that I bought when I was on vacation in San Francisco in 1988. .
