scrubbing lp with discdoctor brush and vpi 16.5

I also do exactly as cincy_bob does. This seems to work best. With all LPs, regardless if filthy, or new, dust=grime will begin to accumilate on the Arm Wand Velvet. Remove after a few LPs, brush clean with a soft toothbrush, rinse with Distilled water, shake excess water, and return to RCM.

With my 16.5 I added a cooling fan, so I can literally run the machine 24/7 without any heat build-up, but for those that don't, perhaps after a 1/2 dozen LPs, drain the recovery tank, get a glass of Kool Aid, or whatnot, take a break, and let the machine rest a few minutes before continuing.

I think all will agree, marathon cleaning sessions get sort of monotonous after so many. I can maybe do 15 at most, with the 3-step AVIS process, and then usually throw in the towel till next time. Mark

I use a 12" x 12" corkboard tile and scrub off the VPI

I just ordered the AIVS 3 step process to use in conjunction with my VPI 17F. My thought was to apply the enzyme solution using a hand applicator brush, the cleaning solution via the pump and brush on the VPI and the rinse solution via a hand brush. Once a record has been cleaned in this way is it necessary to reapply the enzyme for subsequent cleanings or can you just use the cleaning and rinse?
