So.. I can be a little OCD sometimes. I went on a cleaning binge and cleaned around 400 records or so over a couple weeks. I did this since as a new collector I did not know I should be cleaning new vinyl at the time. So I finally decided I would get some done.
Method was squeaky clean, TTVJ Vinyl Zyme concentrate in a gallon of distilled water. Apply cleaner, light brush cleaner, sit for about 20 seconds and flip to do the other side. I did around seven at a time.
I seeing some mixed results. I spun Zeppelin's Physical Graffiti the other night at is sounded a little worse than before cleaning. Lots of static, even after hitting it with the zerostat. Post cleaning results have been hit and miss I think. So wondering were I might have gone wrong.
Should I have let the cleaner sit longer? Did I flip to soon to clean the other side? Should I have done a plan distilled water rinse? Or is it cleaning new records just might take more than on clean.
On a side note, does anyone else find cleaning records oddly therapeutic?
