I've some how managed to get bacon grease all over my copy of "Yours". Don't ask me how.

Now my needles jump all over it. What on earth should I do?!

I doubt anyone has had this experience but I just want some advice on cleaning the vinyl.

I was going to try detergent but I wasn't sure if this might have a catastrophic reaction with the wax; chemistry is not my forté.

Please help, I'm going half crazy with grief!!

I'd say the best thing to do is

wipe it off?

I did but its in all the grooves still

Try and get some record cleaning fluid, if you can't find that use isopropyl.

try isopropyl alcohol, 90% or higher, not rubbing alcohol; or some kind of dish soap without any moisturizers.

maybe now people will finally recognize that bacon is pure EVILLL!!

oh dear.

get a degreasing cleanser, preferrably something non-toxic and WITHOUT BLEACH - here in the states we have something called Simple Green - spray some on the record and let it soak for a bit, then lay a paper towel on top and without wiping (wiping just smears the grease along the grooves) let the towel soak up the cleanser. repeat until all better.

were you trying to spin a set in the kitchen? ;}

ah yes isopropyl will work well too. juss apply with cottonballs.

i spilled kombucha on my pants tonight and it looked like i shat myself.

my mate freddy poured white candle wax all over the crotch of his jeans at a party on tuesday, whilst moving the candle, having stayed over with the rest of us at our mates house he had to go into college in the same jeans as he didn't go home in the morning , it looked he had just rawly cum all over his trousers i've never seen one man get so many disgusted looks in one day

slapa tha bacon out ya mouth

Cleaning Fluid
For the record cleaning fluid I use Laura Dearbon's formula from her book "Good Sound". There are a number of other formulas that could also be used. The following is quoted from Laura's book (without permission, of course).

The safe formula is the same as archival commercial preparations, except that you are mixing it yourself and therefore it costs you a fraction of the price of ready mixed. It can be used for both hand and vacuum cleaning. It is a 25 percent solution of isopropyl alcohol in water, with a drop of surfacant. Ethyl alcohol, sometimes applied to records in the form of vodka is more damaging to vinyl than is isopropyl. Use it only in an absolute pinch.

Drugstore isopropyl contains too many impurities to qualify it for record cleaning. Use technical or lab-grade isopropyl, which is extremely pure. Reagent grade is unnecessary and far more expensive. Water should be steam distilled, triple de-ionized. Both of these are readily available at a chemical supply house, which should sell them to you in pint and gallon sizes.

You also need to add a drop of surfacant, or wetting agent, to reduce the surface tension of the water so the formula can penetrate down into the grooves. Very high frequency grooves, in the range of 15 kHz, can be as small as four millionths of an inch, according to Wald Davies of LAST. Though alcohol itself helps somewhat, you still need a wetting agent. Two excellent and safe choices are Triton X-114 from Rohm-Haas and Monolan 2000 from Diamond Shamrock. Both of these are nontoxic - but don't take them internally - and biodegradable. Very importantly, they leave behind no residue on the record. They are harmless in these small amounts to record vinyl and, as far as is known, to any of the conceivable by-products and impurities likely to be found in record vinyl.

Kodak's Kodaflow is sometimes recommended as a wetting agent. Do *not* use this as it contains chemicals in addition to surfacants that would leave behind residues bad for both record and stylus. Kodak recommends against this application.

all about the streaky bacon remix on the flip.

Try a little fairy liquied. good for cleaning crap off records. Use sparingly though. Just a little bit in some luke warm water should do the trick.

yeah i used fairy liquid for a surfacant in my 25 percent solution of isopropyl alcohol in water, works a treat, only a couple of drops though
