I never, ever, buy a record that's covered in pet dander (at least I hope that's what it is). I've seen some bad ones, and I will have no part of it. I can hold my breath for a long time while I put that record back in the sleeve and stuff it back where it came from!
About the earlier post from hiatt@ . . ., a solution of 25/75 Woolite OxyDeep and distilled water does wonders. You need to apply the solution, let it rest, then scrub it vigorously with a microfiber cloth. Vaccuum, rinse with distilled water, vaccuum, and you're good to go. My brother snagged some old rock records that had been wet, and were never removed from the sleeves to dry. This cleaning routine had them at VG+ from a sonic standpoint. Of course, the sleeves are still trashed.
