How to Use Premier Vinyl Record Pre-Cleaner
Vinyl record pre-cleaners penetrate the dirt and grime of vinyl records much better than water-based cleaning solutions. Some people clean vinyl records by making a solution of dish washing detergent and water. The solvent used in Premier vinyl pre-cleaner has a low surface tension and a low viscosity level. The solvent is twice as heavy as water that allows it to penetrate the waxy surface of the LP. The solvent also penetrates dust buildup in the grooves of the vinyl. The dust on vinyl records is responsible for the cracking and popping sounds that you hear on old records.
