"Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better!

word of encouragement: if I cleaned them, I would screw up too. I couldn't do what @elliottbnewcombjr does, he is the scrub-master. (baby-safe)

I take them to my local audio shop and run them through their machine.

Ill be checking some of the links posted here. But basically, any product you use, should get an proper rinse after, in case any of the cleaning chemicals are left behind. You need to first use a tool that will clean it properly, then rinse. I use an Okki Nokki at the moment, but I want to try the Humminguru in the future and keep the Okki Nokki to rinse clean it after (if necessary - to be tested)

I use a similar unit & Spin Clean Rinse Afterwards as well and achieved excellent results. Allows you to pick up some gems from the dollar racks as long as there’s no scratches through to the groove. Scuffs are ok though… I’ve gotten to the point I can instantly determine whether a record can be salvaged or not… Picked up quite a few GREAT LP’s for sure.

I’ve cleaned over 1000 LP’s …A word of warning using these types of ultrasonic cleaners…WATCH YOUR WATER TEMPERATURE…as I’ve had many a record warp from the water getting too warm.

If your in this for the long haul please get an ultrasonic

End Game

Oh yeah, I forgot, I'm gonna add the little bit of Jet Dry Rinse to the spinner tank with the Distilled Water next time. I was putting it in with the cleaning fluid.
