FAQs

Is this cleaner safe for my valuable vintage records?

Yes, the alcohol-free formula is specifically designed to be gentle and safe for all vinyl records, including older and potentially more delicate pressings.

How much cleaner should I use per record?

It's best to apply a light mist to the microfibre cloth rather than spraying directly onto the record. You typically need only a few sprays on the cloth for each side of a record.

Can I use this cleaner on shellac (78rpm) records?

While the alcohol-free nature makes it safer than alcohol-based cleaners, caution is advised with very fragile shellac records. Test on a less valuable record first if you have concerns.

Does the cleaner remove deep scratches?

This cleaner is designed to remove dirt, grease, and static. It cannot repair physical damage like deep scratches.

How often should I clean my records?

For optimal sound quality and record longevity, it's recommended to clean records before each playback or at least before playing infrequently used records.

What is the shelf life of the record cleaner?

When stored properly in a cool, dry place with the cap sealed, the cleaner should maintain its efficacy for at least two years.

Troubleshooting

Record still has surface noise after cleaning

Ensure you applied the cleaner evenly and allowed it to evaporate fully. For stubborn noise, a second gentle application might be needed, or the issue may stem from deeper groove damage.

Microfibre cloth is stiff or leaving lint

The cloth may have residue from fabric softener or detergent. Wash it separately with a mild, scent-free soap and air dry thoroughly. Ensure no lint is transferred from other materials.

Cleaner appears to leave a slight haze

This can happen if too much fluid was applied or if it was not dried completely. Gently buff with a clean, dry section of the microfibre cloth until the haze disappears. Ensure the fluid is alcohol-free and suitable for your record type.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Safe for all vinyl, including older and delicate records due to alcohol-free formula.
  • Effectively removes dirt and grease without leaving residue.
  • Helps reduce static for clearer playback.
  • Includes a quality microfibre cloth for immediate use.
  • Compact and easy to store.

Cons

  • May require multiple applications for heavily soiled records.
  • 150ml might be insufficient for very large collections.
  • Performance may vary on extremely stubborn, aged-in grime.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure your records are on a stable, clean surface.
  2. Lightly spray the Audio Anatomy Record Cleaner onto the included microfibre cloth, avoiding direct spraying onto the record itself.
  3. Gently wipe the record surface in a circular motion, following the grooves.
  4. Use a dry section of the microfibre cloth or a second clean microfibre cloth to gently buff the record surface dry.

Compatibility:

This cleaner is compatible with all types of vinyl records, including LPs, 45s, and older shellac 78s (though caution is advised with very fragile shellac records).

Care:

  • Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  • Keep the microfibre cloth clean by hand washing with mild detergent and air drying. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can leave residue.
  • Ensure the bottle cap is tightly sealed after each use to prevent evaporation.
