Cleaned some dirty records that I've recently bought with Scrubbing Bubbles, that someone suggested. My first record I'm listening to is The Beatles 1962-1966 on Apple. I bought it for $1! Nobody wanted it because it looked bad. Washed it with the Scrubbing Bubbles, and now it sounds amazingly good!! I don't hear any surface noise, just groove damage (light scratches) from the previous owner! The Scrubbing Bubbles definitely works!!
I rinsed and scrubbed the record first with distilled water, with an old Spin Clean brush. Then sprayed the scrubbing bubbles in two places on the record, you have to watch out it really expands. Used another old brush from my Spin Clean to scrub and work in the scrubbing bubbles. Let it sit for 2 minutes, then did the other side right away. Rinsed it all off in the sink. Then, put it through my Spin Clean, with distilled water only in it. The water in the Spin Clean was clear even after a dozen dirty albums that was cleaned with the scrubbing bubbles. That tells you it really cleans them. Dried it completely with cloth baby diapers, placed it in an old wire record rack overnight.
I'm sold on using Scrubbing Bubbles for dirty records! Thanks for the tip! :thmbsp:
Now back to listening.
