The amount of discussion on record cleaning here is enormous, and I've done my bit. After a while, you just have to pick a method and get on with it, or you can spend a lot or all your time experimenting. My results suggest that virtually all of the top methods discussed here work extremely well on most records. For poorer records, it could be that one method is better than all the rest, but I'm not convinced there is one best method. I put in many hours trying more than 30 different cleaning solutions and approaches, and decided that, while perhaps on some records I could do better with a special method, if I just stuck with RRL super wash followed by a good rinse followed by an RCM dry, I generally got excellent results.I decided this fascination with cleaning was ruining my enjoyment of records! It's bad enough that many of us spend a lot of time carefully listening to the sound to lsiten for faults and ways it can be improved rather than listening to the music. But I realized I was also spending a lot of time listening to the NOISE, evaluating it in terms of how records were cleaned. I decided that I had hit rock bottom, so to speak, and it was time to go back to listening to the music. Still from time to time I get that itch to try something new, e.g., glue. This truly can be a disease.
