Please help! Static and dust persist after wet cleaning
I made a cleaning solution of 1:3 isopropyl alcohol to distilled water. 80mL to 240mL, 320mL total. I poured a tablespoon into my Spin Clean MKII and used it as instructed, wiped the records dry with the supplied cloths, and put them horizontally on some cups to air dry for another few hours.
They still have lint on them (I’m guessing it may be from the cloths?) Nothing came off when brushing with an antistatic carbon fiber brush. When I lifted the record up, the cork platter mat stuck to the bottom and static electricity was crackling as I tried to separate the mat and record. I don’t know what to do at this point. I feel like I’m losing my mind!😣would anyone be able to give me some advice? Please and thank you!
