FAQs

How often should I clean my vinyl records?

It's recommended to use the anti-static brush before each play. Perform a wet clean with the solution and microfibre brush as needed, typically when dust or grime becomes noticeable or affects sound quality. The wet wipes are suitable for quick cleanings between these deeper sessions.

Can I use the cleaning solution on shellac (78 rpm) records?

This cleaning solution is formulated for vinyl. Using it on shellac records is not recommended as it may cause damage. Always verify compatibility for older record formats.

How do I properly use the stylus brush?

Gently brush the stylus from back to front, following the direction of record groove travel. Avoid side-to-side or front-to-back motions, which can damage the stylus.

What is the best way to store records after cleaning?

Allow records to air dry completely after wet cleaning before returning them to their inner and outer sleeves. Store them upright in a cool, dry environment away from heat and direct sunlight.

Can the cleaning solution be used with a record cleaning machine?

While the solution is effective for manual cleaning, compatibility with specific record cleaning machines should be verified with the machine's manufacturer. Use only the provided microfibre brush for manual application.

How long does the cleaning solution last once opened?

When stored properly with the cap secured, the solution should maintain its efficacy for at least one year after opening. Keep it away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.

Troubleshooting

Record still has pops or crackles after cleaning

Ensure you have thoroughly removed static with the carbon fibre brush and used the cleaning solution/microfibre brush for embedded dirt. A second pass may be necessary for very dirty records.

Cleaning solution leaves streaks

Use the microfibre brush in conjunction with the solution and ensure an even application. Wipe in the direction of the grooves. Allow records to air dry completely before playing.

Stylus brush seems too stiff

Use a very light touch when cleaning the stylus. Brush gently from the rear of the stylus to the front, never side-to-side or front-to-rear.

Wet wipes feel dry

Ensure the packaging is properly resealed after each use. If they are consistently dry, they may be past their effective lifespan.

  • Anti-static features help reduce surface noise and dust attraction.
  • Comes with a generous supply of wet wipes for regular upkeep.
  • The cleaning solution is formulated for effective grime removal.

Cons

  • Wet wipes are best for light cleaning and may require the solution for tougher dirt.
  • Requires manual effort for each record cleaned.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This kit requires no complex setup. Simply unpack the components and ensure the spray nozzle on the cleaning solution is functioning correctly.

Compatibility: The cleaning solution and brushes are designed for use with standard vinyl LPs and 45s. Always check the specific recommendations for your turntable's stylus, though the included stylus brush is generally safe for most stylus types.

Care:

  1. Store brushes and wipes in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight.
  2. Ensure the cap on the cleaning solution is secured after each use.
  3. Clean the microfibre brush periodically with mild soap and water, allowing it to air dry completely.
  4. Keep the wet wipes sealed to prevent them from drying out.
