Cleaning Dust off of Vinyl

I would recommend a carbon-fiber brush like the Audioquest brush for removing loose dust.

For dirt that this won't remove, I recommend the GEM Dandy, which uses high-pressure water to clean records. You might even be able to make a device like this yourself if you're handy; it's made of standard PVC parts. I now prefer this to my Nitty Gritty 1.5.

Dry electrostatic disposable cloths.

Patented Grab & Hold Technology removes dirt, hair, dust and common allergens from dust mites, pet dander and pollen.

Vinyl mites!

:^p

Never even thought of those... I am always so reluctant to
"try" new methods of cleaning records, frankly.

Surely they are harmless... thoughts?

I use a really light gauge of sandpaper. Something like a 220grit should work great.
