75% RO water
25% pure isopropanol (propan-2-ol)
2mL of rinse aid per litre of this mix
I use wet/vac cleaner which cleans up about 90% of records. I suspect that an enzyme based one would do another 5%, and that the last few are beyond cleaning.....
Isopropanol won't damage your records.
Is isopropanol the same as isopropyl alchohol Fran?

Yes.
Just be aware that most of that sold in chemists etc is actually 75% iso with water and fragrance etc. Hard to get the pure stuff.

I have used knosti disco antistat. Have had good results although may try a different liquid formula as it can leave gunge on the vinyl.
I have a reverse osmosis water filter in the kitchen so can use that for rinsing but may lose antistatic properties of knosti liquid.
