Last night I tried my first record clean with the Knosti Disco Cleaner. I cleaned a George Benson disc which wasn't kept in a liner, but in the pages of the booklet that came with the record for 30 years.
It's been heavily played but still sounds really good despite being quite dusty and scratchy. It's hard to tell exactly, but cleaning it seemed to help quite a bit with the pops and clicks, and also resulted in blacker background. I'm looking forward to cleaning some used purchases now, maybe some newer records also to see if that's worth it.
