Stick with the steam, forget the 'spin' unit. Micro cloths will do an excellent job. Change the cloths often and wash them frequently. I've used a spin unit and it does not add anything to the process of debris removal, it does provide a good mechanical means to apply the steam. Its fluids don't add anything to the process. Steam will loosen the debris, using a forceful water spray will remove the debris from the disc, then dry with a micro cloth. At some point look for a used 'Record Doctor' unit, that will dry the disc quicker. Happy listening.
Spin Clean after Steam Cleaning?
I am new to vinyl and I have read extensively (10+ hours) the wealth of knowledge on cleaning LPs on this site. Thanks everyone, especially you steam clean proponents.
Anyhow, I had a longer post that was rejected by the forum mods (great first post huh?), so I am just going to ask a specific question.
I was thinking of getting a spin clean to use after steam cleaning. I read one forum member who used it in this capacity to remove debris after the cleaning process. But it makes me wonder if there are other methods (microfibers for instance) that could be used instead and without buying another piece of equipment.
Just FYI, I am a noob to vinyl.
Thanks for your input.
