Record Cleaner Okki Nokki

Yeah, but also what kind of fluid do you use? I am using this machine with excellent results with Audio Intelligent three step system and Disc Doctor brushes for each solution. After applying the fluid 1 - enzyme- and fluid 2 - Archivist Formula - I let it soak for 2-5 minutes before vacuuming. If the record is very dirty - I do double cleaning with step 1 and 2 and let it soak for at least 10 minutes. I rinse with Step 3 - pure water- twice.
I never tried the enclosed Okki Nokki concentrate or the brush.

Thank you for all the feedback. Inna, I will try different fluids, so far I only used the Okki Nokki with the supplied brush. Have you ever tried any home made solution? The typical formula is distilled water+iso propyl alcohol+surfactant (like Ilford Ilfotol).

No I have not. Audio Intelligent has a great reputation so I just got it and have been using it. Many like Walker too.
I use step 2, Archivist formula, that contains no alcohol, it can be substituted with another Audio Intelligent solution with alcohol. I understand that the result is the same, I prefer not to use alcohol, just in case.

I use this product I’ve used it fir years , to me it cleans all of my vinyl records very well, as others said it will not remove pops and scratches, I highly recommended this

I had a VPI 16.5 and a NittyGritty as similar vacuum machines to the OkkiNokki. They worked, and well enough to convince me there was something to cleaning as well as possible. So about 12 years ago I bought a Loricraft PRC4 and was very happy with the results. Even so, records were generally not perfectly silent. Since then, U/S cleaners have come along, and I now use the Loricraft and then a Degritter. The majority of my records are now silent with respect to surface noise now.

I use a homemade mixture of distilled water, L'Art du Son cleaner and isopropyl alcohol in the Loricraft, and Degritter's own surfactant in their machine. I do keep some AI Enzymatic formula for the Loricraft for visibly filthy never-before cleaned used records. Once cleaned, I use a Destat, which means any dust particles (I'm afraid I have a scaly skin rash!) can be blown off with a photographic Rocket Blower. I no longer use any form of carbon fibre brush or cloth. Essentially, nothing touches the record once cleaned except for air, the stylus and a new polythene-lined inner sleeve.
