In Reply to: RE: Triton X-100 as RCF posted by bcowen on September 25, 2016 at 16:31:35
the chemistry of record cleaning. Non-ionic surfactants/detergents like Triton X100, Photo Flo 200, Triton X 114, etc. are all mentioned in the article.
As mentioned before, Mr. Watts in the 50s recommended using a photographic wetting agent for a record cleaning solution. One ingredient of the photographic wetting agent was a non-ionic surfactant which is contained in Photo Flo 200.

Thanks for the link! Good reading and good info. Many similarities between the recommendations of both authors, but a few differences as well (one suggests Dawn in the formula, the other recommends against it).
I've had very good success with a formula of .25% Triton X-100 and 10% isopropyl alcohol (99% purity) in distilled water. And I always rinse, sometimes twice if I'm in the mood. :)
One change is that Woolite now contains anionic and nonionic surfactants, instead of just anionic surfactant in the Original Woolite. The Original Woolite anionic surfactant was almost identical to one of the surfactants in the Disc Doctor solution.
Maybe Dawn detergent was different then too. I do try to stay away from dyes and fragrance. Below is a link from the old days.
