Hi Mr Walter! First of all, many thanks for the quality of yours products. I’ve used the All-Purpose Cleaner, the Record Preservative and the Stylus Preservative for 35 years. I made an order last week for a 4 oz bottle of All-Purpose Record Cleaner, and during the transportation in my car, my LAST bottles froze. Is that dangerous for the product and it’s efficiency? Same for a 2 oz bottle of Record Preservative liquid, but this one did not freeze.
Best regard and have a nice spring!

Dear Mr. C.,
The freezing of LAST All-Purpose Record Cleaner is not harmful (nor dangerous). Freezing does not change the effectiveness, nor the quality of the cleaner.
The All-Purpose Cleaner contains pure distilled water. That is why it was able to freeze. It returns to regular condition upon melting.
The Record Preservative contains no water and will not freeze in normal transport or use conditions. Temperatures need to fall below 0 degrees F. to freeze it. But it returns to pre-freeze condition upon melting.
And Power Cleaner also stays liquid until temperatures fall below 0 degrees F. Again, once it is brought back to normal temperatures, it will be safe to use.
All three can be used safely on your recordings.
Thank you for your question.
Good Listening,
Walter Davies
