I've recently begun an LP collection. I've been picking up old records from thrift shops and roadside flea-markets. I've been amazed at how many of them look like they've never been played before, but some are downright filthy. I've read that you should use purified water and/or denatured alcohol to clean them while some others recommend glass cleaner. Many sites recommend using a $25 brush for dusting off the smutz... Does anyone on here have experience cleaning records? I wondered if a burma-shave brush would work for getting into the grooves without being too harsh. It's not like I'm a preservationist or anything, I just want to listen to them without wrecking my needle.
