FAQs

How often should I clean my vinyl records?

For optimal sound quality, it's recommended to clean records before each play or at least before playing a record you haven't listened to in a while. Regular dusting with the velvet brush between plays is also beneficial.

Can I use the cleaning liquid directly on the record?

It is generally recommended to spray the cleaning liquid lightly onto the velvet brush, not directly onto the record surface. This prevents excess liquid from pooling and potentially damaging the record label or getting into unwanted areas.

Is the velvet brush safe for all types of vinyl?

Yes, the soft velvet brush is designed to be gentle and is safe for all standard vinyl records, including LPs, EPs, and singles. Its non-abrasive nature prevents scratches.

How do I clean the stylus brush?

The stylus brush itself does not typically require cleaning. Store it in its protective cover or the provided pouch to keep the bristles clean and intact. Avoid touching the bristles.

Will this kit remove deep scratches?

This kit is designed for cleaning dust, dirt, fingerprints, and light grime. It cannot repair physical damage like deep scratches.

How long does the cleaning liquid last?

The lifespan of the cleaning liquid depends on the frequency and thoroughness of your cleaning routine. It is a consumable item and will need to be replaced when depleted.

What is the purpose of the travel pouch?

The travel pouch is for convenient storage and protection of the cleaning tools, allowing you to keep them clean and organized, whether at home or when traveling.

Troubleshooting

Record still has surface noise after cleaning.

Ensure you are using the cleaning liquid correctly (spray on brush, not record) and cleaning in the direction of the grooves. For stubborn dirt, a second pass or more focused cleaning may be needed. The record may have inherent pressing defects or deep scratches that cannot be removed by surface cleaning.

Stylus brush seems ineffective.

Gently brush the stylus from back to front only. Avoid side-to-side or front-to-back motions, which can damage the stylus. Ensure the stylus itself is not damaged; if it is, it may require replacement.

Velvet brush is picking up too much dust.

Tap the velvet brush gently against a clean surface or use it on a lint roller before applying it to the record to remove excess loose dust. Store the brush in its pouch when not in use.

Cleaning liquid is not dispensing properly.

Check if the nozzle is clogged. If so, try gently wiping it with a clean, dry cloth. Ensure the bottle is held upright during use.
