    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.

    I used to look after the pure water systems at Dialysis clinics around Cardiff,there were 3 at the Hospital and 3-4 within about 5 miles,the water wasn't very soft and had very high bacterial and organic levels.

    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.

    With 20% IPA,any living micro organism's will have been wiped out,however the residue leftover will still be in the water,still as you say,whatever works for you.

    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.

    Default l'art du son cleaning fluid

    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
