Jerry and Leeana, if you follow the wash with a spray of distilled water (about a dollar a gallon), trace minerals in the water and soap are removed. May not sound any better, but the records are squeeky clean. I always dry before playing- afraid of water affecting the pickup and turntable.
I am amazed at the number of good condition LPs that I have found. Of course, the pop material by Beetles, etc., on 45s and LPs has always been played to near extinction.
