A question to ponder about vinyl and surfactant

Saponified soap consists of molecules with a polar hydrophilic carboxylate head that reacts with water and a non-polar hydrophobic hydrocarbon tail that repels water and attracts grease. They are anionic molecules that act like anionic surfactants. If using them to clean records, because they are anionic, they can bond to the surface of a record and can be difficult to remove.

That the stuff.
Looks like I will need to remove it now.

Do to it may bond onto the record and be hard to get back off again.

Thank you Lou G, and to Oerets, hey man, we are ALL learning something today. This is a good thing, fellas (and fell-ettes).
