I've used a Nitty Gritty for several years with good results. It uses a fluid which is vacuumed up. The machine and their fluid are both somewhat expensive; economical substitutes for the fluid can be found, but little is needed per disc, so the research is hard to justify. I find it a convenient and practical choice for moderately soiled discs. It won't deal with cemented-in muck and is unnecessary for dust on a well-stored disc, but for those in between it's a good choice. Mike -- [log in to unmask] http://www.mrichter.com/
