Micro Fiber Cloth for Record Cleaning

The MF cloth I use (3M I suspect) on my eye glasses and CD's has next to zero pile and will not reach into the business area of vinyl/LP grooves.

What type/brand of MF cloth are you using?

I like the super soft long pile grey ones at Target sold as automobile detailing cloths; they really get the grunge out of the grooves. Check out the thread about steam cleaning; I now use a cheap steam cleaner and these cloths to wipe and dry. Easy, simple, and better than my Nitty Gritty!

I'm using the HomeTex brand, claiming 90,000 fibers per square inch. Mine hands are rough due to the dry weather in Colorado and these cloths actually grab hold of my skin. At Sam's I got 25, 12"X12" towels for under $10 (sorry, I forgot to pay attention to that, I just remember that it seemed like a really good deal).

Here's how I've modified my pre-play routine:

I use the ZeroStat to remove static, then clean the carbon fiber brush with a micro fiber cloth to remove residue from prior cleans, then I clean the record with the carbon fiber removing any visible loose pieces. Finally, I roll the micro fiber cloth and use the thick edge of the roll to clean the record again. This goes pretty quick and the records sound so good that I'm thinking that I don't need to go thru the Disc Doctor process. I'll experiment with that a little to see if there are further gains to be had.

Thanks, I'll check out Target.

I use the softest cloth around. Under garments from the local religion in the area. Of coarse they are NOT holly once I receive them. Lint free however, and great for the black circle .............
