Hey Fred! When you wash your records, consider using a new paint brush and scrub gently with the grooves. You will find it is better than with a rag or sponge. I like a brush with nylon bristles so it can't be contaminated with mold or label dyes. Here is what I use. http://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B003W1CRE6?keywords=liquitex%20paddle%20brush&qid=1449874746&ref_=sr_1_fkmr0_1&sr=8-1-fkmr0
The bristles look very much like the type I use (I should say seldom use. because I don't use it near enough) in the old school Nitty Gritty machine I have. Anybody else got one of those babies?
