The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I've been using gojo for years for cleaning phono cabinets but apparently its no longer available. Has anyone used any other cream cleaners that work as well as gojo?
Note: I'm planning on waxing the wood after cleaning so I don't think new life furniture masque will do since it leaves a residual finish

I've found that Goop hand cleaner works pretty well for getting grime off of wood cabinets. As with all cleaners, make sure you get the version without pumice.

Is it in a paste form or liquid?
Thanks Bob

It's pretty much identical to Gojo.

White Goop is available at your local Harbor Freight in small and large sizes. You can usually find a 20% off anything coupon online or in your Sunday newspaper.

I find it hard to believe that Gojo doesn't leave behind a residue of its own, like lanolin maybe.

Whatever residue that gojo leaves seems to evaporate because the finish is somewhat dry. New life does leave a sheen.
I'll try the goop if csn find it around here

The Gojo website still lists it, along with gallon & ½ gallon sizes. Click on "Where to Buy". https://www.gojo.com/en/productsku/0947-12

Gosh Jerry, I searched the GoJo website and no longer see the original waterless cleaner without pumice.
Maybe it has been discontinued or I missed the link.

The NAPA and Advance Auto stores show availability. I hope it isn’t discontinued.

Here is what I'm seeing on their website. I assume "smooth" means no pumice. It's a poor image, but I can't see pumice mentioned on the label shown, (as I do with other images).
