Cleaning solution question below, my insane method that works.

64.12.116.7

I had to replace my steam iron last year. I bought a Black & Decker with a "Shot of Steam" feature. When they said shot of steam they meant it "POW"..POW...POW".
Well I got to thinkin about how steam is used for cleaning and the following popped into my head. I put a folded towel on the table and placed a record (still with me?)on the towel. Got the B&D all steamed up and ready. You have to do this like a bombing run, keep moving, don`t stop. One pass at a time about an inch above the record, POW..POW..POW and your out of steam. Soon as I do one side I put the record on my VPI 16.5 machine etc. The good points, PURE ClEAN steam, you have to see the surface to believe it, you can tell all crud has been lifted off the surface. I did this for a while and went back to VPI fluid, but man did those surfaces look clean!
