Dave Bryce Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 How do you clean your records? Recently, I've migrated from a brush/spray solution to just a double sided brush - bristles on one side, pad on the other. So far it's been working really well. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinny Posted March 22, 2022 Share Posted March 22, 2022 I’ve always used wet. Currently use Groovewasher stuff. Stuff and things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Bryce Posted March 22, 2022 Author Share Posted March 22, 2022 When I first started using wet, the dispenser was more of a tip - you could put a nice even line in the brush; now, it seems most/all want you to spray the solution. I’m not a fan. I tried this Fluance brush. I do the fiber side, then the pad side. Does a surprisingly great job. dB ==> David Bryce Music • Funky Young Monks <== Professional Affiliations: Royer Labs • Music Player Network Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wraub Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 I'm still using a Discwasher D4 I've had forever (still in the box) and r/o water. I'm a lot more like I am now than I was when I got here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still have the same Discwasher dating way back to the '80s and it works well. I have also been keeping micro fiber cloths near my turntable, with a spray bottle of 50/50 water and isopropyl alcohol. A local record store owner who has been doing this for many decades told me that is what he has always used. I did some research along the way about fancy record cleaning machines, some of which started around $79 all the way up to hundreds of dollars or more. I don't have a great place to keep something like this and they mostly seemed like an answer to a question I didn't ask. I figure if I've been using the above methods for decades with good results and my records are happy! I guess I've been lucky to have mostly clean and good condition albums. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
