Cleaning Vinyl Records

I am taking all my retro vinyl to a shop that buys them, and we'll see which ones they want. Meanwhile, I am cleaning them - as well as some that I am shipping to a fellow in Winnipeg.

YEARS ago, I took a chance and used cool-lukewarm water as well as liquid dish soap. Worked great! THIS time, I am using a (new) spray bottle of about 2/3 water and 1/3 Zero Cold water wash liquid, and a thin rag that must moves the solution around (along with another addition of water to the mix).

Tuck soft tea towels into the ridges of the drain tray, and voila!

YES, it was a quiet day - I have been wanting to do this forever!

If you have vinyl, what do you do?

My vinyl just collects dust since I found out that I can't get needles for my record player anymore. And here I spent more money on it to buy it from Radio Shack because I'd never had problems getting needles for any of the other players before. :mad:
