cleaning vinyl lps with hydrogen peroxide

I guess if you want to own a lot of white promo albums after you're done..... Then sure?

Personally I'd stick with Iso + surfactant + distilled water.

On the covers? Damp cloth at best (with vinegar perhaps) - but very much strained out. Nothing that could leave actual water drops.

Use proper record cleaning fluid

I want to know if anyone has tried using HP for cleaning the vinyl.
I recently tried using HP on my covers & it seems to work great.

Wow, you might need proper record cleaning fluid to clear those messy brown stains

Damp cloth at best with vinegar

Its getting like a greasy spoon in here

I'ld be careful with vinegar on labels/sleeves/paper... The reason vinegar *works* as a cleaner & mold disinfectant (vinegar is better than chlorine bleach for dealing with mold), is the acetic acid content.
Cooking vinegar generally has a 4% to 5% acetic content... Cleaning vinegar usually has 6%-7%.

I use vinegar to remove rust & corrosion on *metals*... After rinsing the vinegar, if the object doesnt then get a short soak in a water-baking soda mix then another rinse, to neutralize the acid... it will decently quickly begin to show signs of fresh corrosion.

So I would have to wonder how even a quick, light wiping with vinegar on paper-based materials. and even then followed up by a quick distilled water, damp wiping... how any remaining acid would affect the inks/artwork... vOv

Personally i would stick with Isopropyl. And even that, can quickly lift/remove/mess up the inks on paper-based items. I also use Isopropyl on old, baked-on enamel painted metal items, and even a *quick* exposure/wipe of isopropyl on *painted* items, will end up wiping off *paint*.
At least Isopropyl evaporates quickly, and doesnt leave any acid residue behind, thus, even tho initial can mess up inks, once its dry, theres no longer anything that will degrade them further, unlike vinegar (acetic acid).

Record cleaning solutions contain three main ingredients: water, alcohol, and a detergent. I would skip using hydrogen peroxide as it it can damage records potentially causing deterioration, staining, and discoloration over time. I use a record vacuum with 1/4 part isopropyl alcohol (91% or higher), 3/4 part distilled water, and 1-2 drops of Kodak photo flow.

There are many record cleaning solutions that don't use alcohol at all, and I'm glad that your method works for you but that's far too much alcohol. You could cut that it half and be fine. If nothing else you're just wasting money.

That's pretty close to the formula for my home brew a well. I use about 20% iso + distilled water and a dash of Ilfotol.

Iso is cheap if you buy it in big enough containers :)
