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).
