l'art du son cleaning fluid

[GJO]

I have been using the stuff for years without any problems. I suspect not all distilled waters are equal.

DI water has no industry standard,so you could be using tap water or much worse as when DI plants go tit's up they can dump chemicals and other nasties into the product water.
BP/purified water has to be manufactured to defined standards and has proper QC.

I guess I'm a cheapskate, as I've always harvested my freezer defrost water and triple/quadruple filtered it. Effectively it's distilled water, according to my physics lecturer friend. I do keep it in bottles rather than plastic, however.

I'm an even bigger cheapskate. I use tap water and have done for 10 years or more, I never noticed any difference when I swapped over from the purified stuff (except in my wallet).

The water here abouts is quite soft though.

I'm glad you added that afterthought ! I'd imagine it must be very soft there. Here is scale city for kettles and I'd dread the thought of cleaning my records from the tap, despite its cost.

I got a bottle of L'Art du Son with my Loricraft but I don't like it, I don't know about mould but I felt it left a residue and I don't like the way it foams up.

I use branded Pure enzyme cleaner for records that need it as a pre-clean, I use IPA mix for the main clean and then I rinse with pure water and a drop of wetting agent. So sometimes three passes each side, sometimes two.

Gosh no, down here's they'd come out covered in white stuff!

I bought a bottle of L'art du... several months ago , cleaned few records (can't complain about its cleaning ability) then started using The Right One ,
after seeing this thread I pulled that bottle out of the cupboard ( dry and not exposed to the sunlight ) and there it is new life form growing in the bottle .

it can grow in the vacuum residue tank as well.. i dont use any but did try it. prefer my own ipa mix
