Today's Webtip: Clean your Vinyl
While packing up my record collection I realized that almost all of them were in serious need of a deep cleaning. Well, they would be in need of a cleaning if I ever intended to actually play any of them again. I'm still trying to decide if the result is worth all of the effort.
At least the getting rid of dust part should be easy.
Lifehacker has a post up describing how to clean your records using wood glue. Apparently, wood glue can't actually bind with vinyl, but it will bind with all of the other stuff hanging out on the surface of your records. Anyone who used to enjoy smearing glue or wax on their fingers and then peeling it off will probably have a lot of fun with this.
As a matter of fact, I'll probably do it even if I never play my LP's again.
