Home vinyl cleaning

Bought two bottles of this on a recordfair once and the first bottle isn't empy yet (used it for many years)

Couldn't bother to make al kinds of potions myself and risking ruining my records. Works alright.

Meanwhile have invested in a Okki Nokki which is really different. More work and more expensive but once you heard the difference, there's no way back.

There are some many other (good/cheaper) ways. People will tell you...

Record shop I was in on Saturday had the AM stuff but..make yer own for a fraction of the price.
Aware of the Okki Nokki, but again looking for cheaper DIY option

Further research shows Isopropyl, Distilled Water and detergent seems to be the magic formula
accompanied by a micro cloth.

That AM is alright if your records are not too dirty yes.

The new model Okki Nokki is quite cheap compared to other brands yes. You saw Rude's DIY-recordcleaner of an old recordplayer, some tubes and an old vacumecleaner? Now that's cheap! Smart too.
Other (more expensive) brands are almost fully automatic. For example with the Okki Knokki you have to put the liquid on the record yourself (not a lot of work) and also push the brush/vacuumtube against the vinyl with your hand (sometimes a bit tedious) for cleaning while other brands do this (more or less) automatic. Hence the difference in price I think.
I think (not sure) I cleaned about 500 records with 1 liter of fluid.

Made an enthousiastic attempt to clean my most dirty italo records and gave them clean innersleaves and plastic protectionsleeve but stopped half way.... Not so enthousiatic anynmore.... Maybe this autumn/winter again. Lot of evenings inside the house.

That woodglue-solution is awesome, ain't it? Very creative!

I havent tried it myself but I guess its only worth the hassle for (expensive) records that need strong cleaning. I also have the anti-stat cleaner and it works fine but can also be a bit of hassle: fluid on labels and records that have to dry.. It only works if you do a whole a batch..
There are also a few good cleaning machines around but those arent cheap, I believe Ruud build one himself with an old vacuumcleaner..

Quote from Discomusic.com.

"Using normal tap water to rinse off the record is fine provided your water is not unusually "hard." If this is the case then you will want to finish up by using distilled water as a final rinse. Distilled water can be easily found in your supermarket or drugstore. The real trick is to properly rinse all this stuff off your vinyl records and get them dry without scratching them. Drying means using a microfiber type of cloth and blotting the record. Once this is done you can followup with a quick pass with a brush dipped in Isopropyl alcohol to get rid of any impurities that may still be on the record."

I have a bottle of 70% Isopropyl. Probably good to dilute?
