I have a serious phobia problem with cleaning records


HiI have RCM phobia .And I need help to over come my phobia wiith cleaning records. I'm ok with a Mofi brush or a cloth and just go in a circle and clean the dust off... But I am terrified of liquids and machines. Because I never know the right one to choose. The automation one's that all cost more I think give me some kind of small security but even reading stories on here now give me second thoughts. The machines aren't perfect either. As for doing manually forget it ...

Mini Pro should be the better idea as it cleans both sides simultaneously. I have used it in the past with very good results, just do not overdo it with too much liquid application. 2 pumps, one for manualy applying liquid on lp surface and the other for suction?

Back in the 90's there was a guy Joe at Corner Audio in Portland, had some of the best high end gear anywhere along I5 up to Seattle and beyond. I'm in there one time and he pulls out a record and makes a big deal holding it all wrong, getting his fingers all over it, never touching the edge, probably sat it down on a counter for good effect. You get the idea. Played the record, Santana Abraxas reissue, sounded great. Was only years and years later the wisdom sank in. You can OCD over records, or you can enjoy them. I clean mine, sure. Walker Enzyme. But I do not obsess over it. Nor should you. Nor should anyone. Wind up like the guy with delicious wine unable to enjoy even a sip for fretting if at one time five years ago it was subjected to three degrees too much heat. Do not be that guy.
I have a VPI 16.5. I’ve never had a record sound or look worse after being cleaned. In general with most records, cleaning doesn’t make a huge difference in sound quality (although the US guys claim greater improvements), but there have been times where it made a dramatic difference.

What is it exactly that you're concerned about?
Good question. More to the point, how can we help?

So if we take this seriously one, it's a phobia. An unreasonable, groundless fear. So either he's joking, or he needs counseling. 

He says he's terrified because he doesn't know the right one to choose. Well, it's the Walker 4step Enzyme cleaning system. Or even if not, well any liquid cleaning system is better than what he's doing, wiping the dust off. 

But he refuses to buy a machine, and refuses to clean manually.  

So every single thing we could suggest, he has categorically ruled out. There really is nothing more to say other than seek psychiatric counseling. That's not a dig, just a solid logical conclusion based on everything the OP himself has said. 

But that is if we take him seriously. If we take it as humor then all I can say is, don't quit your day job!
i have an okki nokki - like it, it works well

using liquid soap bath, brush and vacuum takes a little getting used, but like anything else, you learn and get used to it
