umm.. no. dont do this. if you care about your records, you will at least
buy a Discwasher kit, which includes a brush and liquid formulated for
cleaning records safely. it is about $15. now, if you are rich and care
about your records, you should get a VIP record cleaning machine, which
applies liquid, scrubs, and vacuums it off for the complete clean. and a
clean record increases fidelity as well. remember to ***clean your STYLUS as
well!!!*** it can drive gunk down into the grooves and it'll never get out.
you can buy stylus cleaners for $8 or so. check your local record shop.
thats all.

later.
