How clean are your records?

Without a rinse, the soap will surely dry in the grooves. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I went back to my trusty mix of 3 to 1 and Herbie Hancock has never sounded so good...

You'll be fine. Just let the suds settle down. The concentration is so low that it shouldn't have build up if you run a dry part of the brush (or a second brush) for a couple of spins after using the solution. 'Course if your having good results without soap I see know reason to add it to the mix.

Chubbs, your original mix might be a classic case of "if it ain't broke don't fix it". However...I'd bet LDB is right. In any case, I don't let anything dry on the record...not even distilled water. I vacuum it all up, post haste.

Thanks for the quick replies guys as I am in the midst of cleaning about 50 LPs. I still have the soap solution so "ill wait LDB and see. Ya noob, I am the same, I have these special microfiber towelettes that I use at my work for drying. They're great. Right after I use that, I hit it with a hair dryer on the cool setting.
