I use the Grabit before and after rubbing the disk lightly in spots with a soft cotton cloth. The combination removes not only dust, but fingerprints as well. This is what I do before playing a record that is new to my collection.

One or two records have arrived in very poor condition. I use Clorox concentratrd bleach undiluted (painted onto the record with a dedicated brush) and rinse it off with filtered water which is soft enough not to leave any deposits. and then I let the record air dry. If one treatment dose not work, two or three will. I have extracted amazing detail from old vinyl using this method.

The Bleach is not to be used on early pre Gruv guard records. I experimented with a couple expendable disks and found that they soften up and start hissing. The slightly later, more flexible vinyl cleans up beautifully.

Don't get any bleach on the label, or any water either.
