Its primary benefit is deep cleaning with high penetrating and reducing power to remove dirt, mold, and fine dust, leading to quieter surfaces.

FAQs
Can I use Disk Union Reco Clean on all types of records?
Reco Clean is suitable for standard vinyl records (33 1/3 rpm and 45 rpm). It is not applicable for SP Records (78rpm discs).
How often should I clean my records with Reco Clean?
The frequency depends on your usage and storage conditions. For best results and to minimize noise, clean records before playing particularly valuable or delicate ones, or if they appear dusty or dirty.
Does Reco Clean damage the vinyl material?
No, Reco Clean is formulated without harmful chemicals like synthetic detergents or petroleum-based solvents. It does not cause chemical reactions to the vinyl material and is safe for your records.
What makes Reco Clean different from using just water?
Reco Clean has a high penetrating and reducing power that is significantly stronger than water for lifting dirt from grooves. It also possesses a superior antistatic effect, sterilizing, and deodorizing capabilities that plain water lacks.
How do I properly dry a record after using Reco Clean?
After gently wiping away the fluid and dirt with a clean microfiber cloth, allow the record to air dry completely on a clean, flat surface before playing or storing it. Avoid using heat sources for drying.
Is this product safe for the environment?
Yes, the formula uses electrolyzed water and avoids substances harmful to the environment, such as synthetic detergents or petroleum-based solvents.
Can I use this cleaner on shellac records (78s)?
No, Disk Union Reco Clean is explicitly stated as not applicable for SP Records (78rpm discs).
Troubleshooting
Record still has surface noise after cleaning
Ensure adequate fluid was used and allowed to penetrate. Reapply and clean again, ensuring thorough removal of the fluid and dirt. Check that the record is not scratched, as fluid cannot repair physical damage.
Fluid leaves residue on the record
You may have used too much fluid or not wiped it off thoroughly enough. Use a clean, slightly damp cloth (with distilled water only) to gently remove any remaining residue, then dry with a clean microfiber cloth.
Antistatic effect seems weak
Ensure the record surface is completely dry after cleaning. Reapplication of the fluid may enhance the antistatic properties. Store records in anti-static inner sleeves.
Fluid has an unusual smell
While the product is designed to deodorize, a slight scent from the electrolyzed water may be present. If the smell is strong or chemical, ensure the product is stored correctly and has not expired. Contact the manufacturer if concerned.

- Clean application tools (brushes, cloths) thoroughly after each use to avoid cross-contamination.
