Anyone else notice a whiteish sediment formed in the bottom of their OCRVC concentrate bottle? I shook it up tonight after mixing up a new batch of cleaner and a bunch of it dislodged from the bottom of the bottle - and now there are small bits floating around in the concentrate bottle.

Thanks everyone. Stuff works better than anything I've ever used.
I don't use it on every album, but if the LP doesn't look new, then after OCRVC it looks brand new and plays quieter.
What else could we ask for other than a gorgeous assistant to help us clean?

I tried the usual offerings when it came to cleaning records but OLLYS OCRVC blew the opposition away. So simple to use, so cheap and soooooooooo goooooooood.

I'd be inclined to "coffee filter" the solution.

This issue was taken up with the manufacturer and OLLY has been assured all is OK. I have also been using the solution for over 3 years and have not had any problems. I have never seen this cloudy deposit once the solution is diluted so "MAYBE" it has something to do with it being a concentrate. Just a thought.

yeah, i talked to joe about this, and he assured me that it's a "common" occurrence, and that it has no negative effect on the performance of the fluid, nor is it any indication of spoilage, etc.
i've been using this stuff (w/sediment) for a few years now, and have experienced no problems...so i suppose what he told me has merit.
did you learn what the sediment is and why it's there? I've never noticed something like that with rrl/mofi or disc doctor.
I like and use the products you mention. This is not a this product is the only one to use kind of post. Any good record cleaner has the potential of delivering better playback.
IME, OCRVC is superior as a cleaner to any of the products you mentioned. First it is formulated as an actual cleaning product. When dilluted to 1 part cleaner to 40 parts deionized water it removes vinyl exudates and oxidation in a superior fashion.
I also use it as a degreaser and to clean my eyeglasses.
The other cleaners are basically lab water with a few additives mixed in. They do clean somewhat but not to the same degree as the OCRVC.
OCRVC was coined by my comments. Olly had built a RCM and after cleaning 100 albums or so there was a layer of crud all around the RCM. I called it the Olly Crud Removing Vinyl Cleaner for a reason. Vinyl builds up a layer of exudates and vinyl oxidants over time. The OCRVC actually strips these away.
After cleaning with OCRVC I rinse with lab water. I achieve an LP that looks brand new and plays quieter. The cleaner has no residue mixed down to 1 part to 40 parts of lab water.
I have used this now for over 5 years and there is no better cleaner on the planet.
If you have noisy albums give the OCRVC a try. It might salvage some albums you felt were unplayable.
Cheers!

For unless rinsed thoroughly the sediment will remain in the grooves and build up if not completely removed. I would not risk that.
as mentioned, the 'sediment' (actually, sorta softish-clumps, looking like clouds) that float around in the CONCENTRATE bottle NEVER appear in the diluted solution.
and...i NEVER completely 'dry' the initial cleaning solution step, as i remove a portion of it after scrubbing, then IMMEDIATELY begin adding rinse water to the remaining cleaning fluid that had remained on the record, thereby diluting it further (therefore it NEVER completely 'dries' on the record), then rinse again, and again, and again, by shooting more and more rinse water on it AS it's being suctioned off 180 degrees around on the other side of the record (VPI Typhoon, with the rinse water stored in the tank...cleaning solution is applied manually). i'm sorta suctioning off fluid at the same time i'm adding new fluid, over and over, until totally (and i mean TOTALLY! lol) get it rinsed. i then stop adding any new rinse water and let the vacuum finish the job. kinda hard to explain. i should make a video.
anyhow, having residual cleaning fluid on my records is the LEAST of my concerns, given the steps i take to remove all of it.
btw...virtually everyone that hears my records says that they're as clean and quiet as any they've heard.
When did you get it?
