I can’t get into the notions I keep seeing on YouTube when it comes to how to clean vinyl records. Steam and wood glue seem to be popular with some, but I refuse to inflict such punishments on my record collection. I present this video as a curiosity…but if you’re REALLY tempted to give this a shot, may I suggest trying it on the most disposable record in your collection as a test first?

Seems completely mad to me, but maybe I’m just too stuck in my own ways. Or maybe I don’t like the idea of gumming up my vinyl. If anyone’s tried this successfully I’d be most interested in reading about the experience.
