FAQs

How often should I clean my records with the CL-120?

It is recommended to clean your records before each playback to ensure the best sound quality and to minimize wear on both the record and your stylus.

Can I use any record cleaning spray with the CL-120?

While the CL-120 is designed for optimal performance with NAGAOKA record cleaning sprays, other gentle, alcohol-free record cleaning solutions may be compatible. However, NAGAOKA recommends using their own spray for guaranteed results.

How do I clean the brush that comes with the case?

The small brush included in the case is for cleaning the velvet surface of the main record cleaner. Gently brush the velvet with it to remove accumulated dust.

What is the lifespan of the CL-120 brush?

The lifespan depends on usage frequency and care. With proper maintenance, the velvet surface can last for a considerable time. If you notice a significant decrease in cleaning effectiveness, it may be time for a replacement.

Does the CL-120 remove static from records?

The high-density velvet material helps to reduce static build-up on the record surface, contributing to a cleaner playback experience.

Is this brush suitable for cleaning shellac (78 RPM) records?

Yes, the CL-120 is suitable for cleaning all types of vinyl records, including 33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM records.

Troubleshooting

Record still has pops and crackles after cleaning.

Ensure the velvet surface of the CL-120 is clean and free of dust. For deeper cleaning, use a NAGAOKA record cleaning spray in conjunction with the brush.

Velvet surface appears dirty or matted.

Use the dedicated brush provided in the case to gently clean the velvet. If the matting persists, it may be time to consider replacing the cleaning brush.

Brush is not effectively picking up dust.

Make sure you are applying gentle, consistent pressure in a circular motion or along the record grooves. Check that the velvet is not damaged or worn out.

  • Ergonomic and lightweight design for comfortable use.
  • Includes a dedicated brush for easy maintenance of the cleaning surface.
  • Retains a classic, aesthetically pleasing design.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The CL-120 requires no assembly. It is ready to use out of its case.

Compatibility: This record cleaning brush is compatible with all standard vinyl records (33 1/3, 45, and 78 RPM). It is designed to work optimally with NAGAOKA record cleaning sprays, but can be used effectively on its own for dry dusting.

Care:

  1. After each use, gently use the dedicated brush stored in the case to clean the velvet surface of the CL-120. This removes any dust or debris collected during cleaning.
  2. Store the CL-120 in its dedicated case when not in use to protect the velvet surface.
  3. Avoid washing the velvet surface with water, as this can damage the material and affect its cleaning properties.
  4. If using a cleaning spray, ensure the record is dry before placing it back in its sleeve.
