WHY WILL WILL WILL WORK
If you do A quick Amazon searchYou will find a ton of product that is to clean the Vinyl records. Generally, they spray the surface and use some forms of a Wiped device like any cloth or pad. However Vinyl Grovs So small The fibers of any clothes may not probably reach the inside. When you can clean the liquid in the notch, it is quite hard to get back. This means that the traditional wip-off or spin-and-clin style devices mostly spread the dirt on the notch.
That’s where the vacuum suction or ultrasonic cleaners come. Fancy record-chloroing machines From Pro Eject to it ($ 450) Use a plater and a vacuum system to physically suck the nasty clean solution outside the groves, a motor that spins the record between two sides. Ultrasonic cleaners basically use high-frequency sounds to shake dirt from the grooves. Both work very well to ensure the dirt, dust and grime that comes out of the tiny notch on your record.
Trade equipment
If you are going to the suction route you can buy an all-in-one record cleaner created by the above project, or if you feel success you can just buy one one This great attachment ($ 30) For a small store vacuum.
Then, all you need is that Clean solution ($ 35)Ay Cheap paint brush ($ 7), Ay Vacuum ($ 50)And an old record player or spindle to turn the record as soon as you zero the solution from the groves. Look for the old in the 3ft shops, since all you need is a table that physically spin it, it doesn’t play music. I got wonderful results to clear my records using this system by taking crusty old records in glossy clean masterpieces in a few minutes.
If you want to clear the records ultrasonically (the best for people who have large collections, because you can clean more than one disc at once), I recommend A mid-level generic model like it ($ 425)The (A Premium model You will almost double, but it does exactly the same thing)) The ultrasonic cleaner vibrate the cleaning solution around the records in a super-high frequency, which helps to clean Grit and Grim with spinning on the motor. Once cleaned, you simply place them on the dry rack.
