I have a Discwasher kit I purchased as a teen in the 80s. For the most part it delivers great results. I was just curious if the glue method delivered a superior outcome. Decided to experiment with my Madrugda bootleg as it's crackly and I don't care about it that much. Will update the list with my results.

I would advise against the glue method because tiny residues could stay within the grooves. Of course, the best way to clean a record would be a professional cleaning machine, but I get very good results with this technique:

* Remove the dust from the record with a carbon fibre record brush
* Mix 1 part of Isopropyl alcohol with 2 parts of distilled water, add a drop of dish washing soap
* Wet the record with this mixture using a micro fibre towel
* Leave it there for ~1 minute
* Rinse the record with distilled water
* Dry it with another micro fibre towel
* Proceed with the other side

Best regards
Bert

I find that washing with water and dish washing soap gives an equally good result and takes less time, just remember to wipe off the water with a cloth that doesn't leave fibres on the record.
