destiled water, no doubt of it ,as wood glue doesn´t clean them perfect as i saw a friend of mine doing it to a old Lp he has that was forgoten above a piece of furniture when a party happened and i still have the mint cover of that record from Prince & the Revolution, when of the single "Kiss", late 80´s, i remenber the song playing that night but never again he found the record only later when changing that piece of furniture i notice a record was there, that´s why nobody but a older friend touches my stereo equipment in any of my party´s , it feels old as i think young men don´t get together in their houses with lot´s of alcohol and other type of drugs as the alcohol we provide tastes like water and if you light a cigar it seems the cigar smoke tastes of fruit but engeniers never could drop the level of methanol to legal limits and it´s a drink that doesn´t let you drunk but high with a happy feeling , it´s only a shame that in 40 years of research the tradicional drink never was putted for sale, but i drift a litle as music was played for one or three nights in a row, and i miss those days, not that they stoped to happen but kind of a geriatric feel when looking to eachothers faces some we met when 4 years old, girls or boys but since ever we clean records with a non abrasive soap and with destiled water shoot through a compressor so it could arrive to the deepest grooves but that was then now it´s two machines , a laboratory ultrasound cleaner with a engine that rotates the Lp´s also a based on water cleaner than let it dry and perfect they stay, using the two diferent methods cleans completelly any record, using only one of them would never clean it perfect.
About mountain spring water it contains particles that can only be removed by destilation of the water, as i worked in a laboratory i destlied water and had a expensive ultrasounds machine when making culutres of bacterial life on blood serum, or vegetal deseases from insects or bacterial also origin, to after clean the material ,never ever i thought that i would use all that equipment to clean records
