For floppies,
I just break 'em open any way I can,
and then use bare, clean hands with dish detergent.
Let dry on a lint-free rag and you're through.

I am trying to recover some files from an DEC RX02 (8" SSDD)
floppy. After you clean the media, how do you put it back into
the drive? I have one floppy that has over 100 error blocks
(can't be read)
out of 988. Others have just a few. Is it possible to only spot clean
the ones with a few errors without removing the jacket?
Dunno- let us know!
Will Formula 409 work with floppy media? Where
can it be purchased?
Oh, it's a common household cleaner here in the U.S... a
comparable cleaner is Fantastik.
