Is this a bad idea (cleaning records)

[FreeWilley]

i'm taking a record, putting it on my table, then spinning the record the oppoisite way while i place a towel with cleaning fluid on the record....is that a bad idea? it cleans them so quickly and when i go to play them afterwards they sound fine and all, just as of now i don't have my preamp so the sound isn't how it's suppose to be as of now...i'm just wondering if this is an improper way to clean records

That's a new one. Sounds fine to me, maybe not the best clean, but if it's quick & pretty good it sound o.k. to me.

make sure ur not turning the record directly on the table otherwise you'll clean one side and make the b side dirty on the table..just a thought

I've done it while the turntable was spinning .. No problem .. first make sure you use a sable hair brush and a little vaccum to pickup any dust . you can also wash the entire record (78) in a dishpan with a little bit of good quality dish detergent and rinse lightly . john-y
