Cleaning Dust off of Vinyl


I've noticed that records in general attract a fair amount of dust. I was wondering if I could clean this off using my air compressor or if I need to purchase some type of cotton cloth. The air compressor would be easier with my setup now, but I don't know if that would be too rough on the vinyl.

Thanks

I just use the cleaning pads that I purchase that are made especially to clean records. This works best and puts my mind at ease that I am dusting in a safe manner.
SandPaper!!! I knew it had to be a ruse.

sorry about your post.

I use a Audioquest carbon fiber brush.I have a friend with the Gem Dandy and I plan on getting one. It works very well and is not stupid expensive like the record cleaning machines.

Some people swear by it.

Works pretty good, but Smacky's dried out in 2 years time. (Probably because Smacky did not store it properly in the supplied air-tight box.)

Not cheap.
Before cleaning it, be sure of using an anti-static gun, if you have one, to neutralize dust.
