Shake the bottle of concentrate vigerously to mix the ingredients thoroughly.

Mix a quart of solution at a time by measuring 1/4 the amount of the concentrate for each quart of distilled water. Store the rest of the concentrate for future use.

Make 4 quarts (or 5 litres, if you like that measurement) from the concentrate and store the unused bottles in a dark, cool closet. Brown bottles are generally available from a Pharmacist (generally the smaller family owned stores) or from chemical supply houses.

Transfer your mixed solution to a "spay bottle" for easy application on your record cleaning machine.

Shake the bottle of diluted fluid before using to remix the formula. Separation of chemicals can occur if the bottle is sitting for a long time.

Apply only enough fluid to completely wet the surface of the record, (not the label) to avoid spillage to the plinth of the record cleaning machine because of the centrifical force of the spinning turntable. Use your record brush to make a smooth, wet coating on the grooves.

Allow the solution to work. Usually one minute (soak time) is adequate before using the vacuum to remove the dirty fluid.

If you spill liquid while applying to a record, this formula will not stain or discolor the parts of your machine.

For very dirty records repeat the cleaning process several times. Allow the grooves to soak for 2-4 minutes.

When you order L'Art du Son from our SMART Internet store or via phone order we will include a FREE spritz bottle with your purchase. These plastic 8 oz. bottles are similar to the type used for the SMART Record Cleaning solutions, but with a frosted bottle instead of transparent.
