RobSmithDev | Cleaning Floppy Disks - Multiple Methods Tested! @RobSmithDev | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
In this video I'm going to attempt to clean and repair 16 floppy disks, testing their state before and after cleaning, and using Isopropyl and Washing Up Liquid to see which works best.
I'll also put my disk cleaning machine to the test by comparing it to cleaning them by hand.
