to professionally clean records you need a good record cleaning machine and
the right liquids...when properly executed the results can be truly
astounding...even new records will sound better/quieter and dusty gems you
find in bargain bins can be restored to almost like-new condition...some
examples...

lots more...just drop RECORD CLEANING MACHINES into Goggle and go...many
different cleaning fluids do a fine job...I'm using RECORD RESEARCH LABS
VINYL WASH in our VPI HW-17 and have NEVER had any problems. for really
dirty records multiple cleanings help.
