"It lives!"

It all sounds very troublesome to me. A foamy record wash that needs rinsing, and may grow alien life forms in it? Finding many rare ingredients to make my own wash? Or distilling rinse water? I just buy a bottle of MoFi Super Record Wash, and it lasts and lasts. I’ve had the same bottle for about 3 years now, so at $25 a bottle, it is certainly not breaking the bank, and I have no complaints about it’s effectiveness.

I've been using The Right One recently and it is very good , I'm afraid UK sourced only , wasn't very keen on MoFi stuff - on greasy records I had problem to work it into the grooves.
In defense of my wallet :D
our latest kettle of two years still looks shiny on the inside.
I mix my cleaning solution 20% IPA, 80% water and 3 drops of Triton X100 in 5 litre batches stored in a translucent plastic container. it can take me 18 months/ 2 years to work through that and I've never seen any mould or discolouration.
I admit that this might not be acceptable for some, but it works for me.
i use 25% ipa. also add a little more wetting agent than they say too. works better
I use two mixes mainly 25% IPA,but if a disc is still noisy I use a 33% mix if this doesn't work I bin it.
Yup ! 1:3 ratio here too. The 'mould' problem has only ever been associated with T'Art d.s., to the best of my knowledge.
Just checked my recipe. Not made any for a while. It's 27.5% IPA. Medi grade water and 12ml ilfotol. Plus a splash of fabric conditioner like cover zero or similar without fragrance additives. This helps with antistatic without causing any probs or residue.
Always make a litre at time. I spray it on with a mister after having covered label with a old cd. Fits great under the screw tightened on the moth.
Then it gets a zero star- ing and into a anti static inner. All records are kept in vinyl sleeves
