[78-L] Windex

[Ron L'Herault]

NO!  Windex has ammonia in it which is a solvent for shellac,  It is not  a
great solvent but it will attack it.   In lieu of proper cleaning solutions
such as the material Dr. Goldman has developed,  a mild solution of dish
washing liquid and a painters pad will work reasonably well.  Rinse and pat
dry immediately, of course and then let the shellac sit for a while to make
sure it is completely dry.

Does anyone know if Windex is safe for shellac 78s?  I'm certainly aware of
what alcohol can do to a shellac surface.

Even if you use dish soap and water, paint pads are excellent for digging
the dirt out of the grooves.
