M mel graf Audioholic Intern Jan 6, 2007 25 0 1 Aug 29, 2008 #1 I have used isoprohyl alcohol on a fiber record brush to clean a record. Many have advised me that is bad for the phongraph record. I have been doing this for many years cleaning the records after about 2-3 plays. These recordings are relatively noise free and sound fine. Any comments?

It is now made in China as best I can tell, and not by the original Discwasher company, FWIW, but should still do a good job. Don't use plain alcohol as Jamie2112 said.
