One of my friends uses Isopropyl Alcohol. I was rather skeptic
when I tried it on some of my records, but it does appear to
keep fungi from growing on it when the weather gets humid. Static
buildup also appears to be markedly reduced.

Note: Since I have only tried this out recently, I still don't
know what are the long-term effects (if any) on the records.
So far, (6 months later), they sound fine. One advantage is that
Isopropyl Alcohol is cheap and easily available at your local
drugstore. I use the purer ones (above 90% alcohol by volume).
