❔️Question for vinyl addicts...is there any way to deep clean records that works & isn't $500?

I clean by hand with cleaning fluid & a microfiber towel but there are some that still aren't getting as clean as I would like. 🤔

Antonio Carlos Jobim the Composer of Desfinado Plays LO album cover Back cover text: This is the sound of Antonio Carlos Jobim At 36, he is one of the leading figures in popular music in Barzil, and his initial work on Bossa Nova with Jao Gilberto and Luis Bonfa has made this new music the world-wide favorite. He plays piano and guitar and composes such great melodies as Desfinado, One Note Samba, and Insensatez.

Hope everyone is having a great holiday weekend! Instead of fighting shopping & RSD crowds, I went to a few local record stores after the rush to crate dig in the #bargainbinvinyl $2 bins. Scored almost 20 rock, pop, r&b & jazz albums I'll be spinning!

Went to a popular indie record store near a large university yesterday & they had the largest selection of new vinyl I have ever seen! About 7 aisles like this one. Prices were high but fun to look & did get a couple. Sadly, some of the bins were badly overpacked.
