Hi, There are several formulas that use alcohol. I use 1 part alcohol to 10 parts water (distilled). I add a few drops of unscented dish washing soap and a few drops of wetting agent for dish washers. This mix goes into my ultra sonic cleaner. They need to be rinsed after the time in the cleaner (it rotates them for 5 minutes). The mix is not harmful to LPs. Vinyl is rather immune to most common chemicals. It can be harmed by many solvents though. Stuff like acetone, strong acids etc. There is a lengthy thread on the vinylengine.com forums on this subject. It is under the section for records and care at the top of the opening page. To view any photos though you will have to register...it is free and it is a friendly and helpful forum. A must IMO for anyone into records.

Good Listening
Bruce
