[78-L] Question about record cleaning

[jim brannen]

Had a couple of late forties american RCA's that the printing all but disappeared when I did a quick rinse of the record under water. That wierd green-silver color they used when gold print disappeared.

I ran some warm tap water on a single face Harry Lauder 70000 series purple label Victor and had to scrub the purple off Mom's bathroom sink with Comet.  I wonder if those same labels are still similarly affected today with an additional 45 years to dry.  Not taking any more chances, I have protected the labels ever since.

While I was on the 78 community website, I looked at the video on how to
clean a 78. I distinctly remember a thread on this list some time ago where
I read that you should never submerge a record in liquid, as the label
might be affected. Yet the demonstrator did just that.

Did I misinterpret something somewhere along the line? Or should you not
submerge the entire record?

Thank you,
