    Just visit any hardware shop and buy deionised water used in steam irons.

    Deionized is different though?

    De-ionised water is purer than distilled water, but not worth worrying about.

    When I mix "The Right One" vinyl cleaner I use six way purified, the process uses reverse osmosis, steam distillation and de-ionisation with an audited less that 1ppm residual impurities. Most batches come certified as zero ppm. I also use medical grade chemistry, this is the only way to get the records pristine and keep them that way. I wouldn't use anything less on my own records either.

    Can you point us to where to get that stuff? I use it for a medical apparatus I need as well as records, and the distilled I've been getting isn't all that good IMO.
