๐ This design is a staple made by several companies (including a Turntable Lab version). The carbon fiber bristles won't damage your records + help to remove static charge (which attracts dust). The built-in cover is also a great feature.
๐ Best Record Brushes + Record Cleaners - TTL Levels
โณ Basic Carbon Fiber Brush, Effective
โณ Upgraded Carbon Fiber Design
๐ This model is more expensive than your standard Carbon Fiber brush but boasts more conductivity (more effective at removing static charge) and a more substantial body/grip.
โณ Fabric Pad Cleaner, Wet + Dry Cleaning
๐ This throwback-style cleaner (based on the classic D4 cleaner) features a replaceable cleaning pad that can be used dry or with a spray cleaner (included). We love the feel of the chunky, real wood handle.
โณ Cleaning Pads + Carbon Fiber Brush In One
๐ This model incorporates cleaning pads (dual!) and carbon fiber bristles for doubly-effective cleaning. The grippy oversized handle also features a conductive design. Comes with a convenient removable brush cover.
โณ Ultra-Effective On Dust, Works On Both Audio Gear + Records
๐ 100k soft bristles 'magically' remove dust, often in a single stroke. This brush works equally well on audio gear. Use it to clean turntables, dustcovers, amps, furniture, etc.
โณ Self-Powered Record Cleaning Machine
๐ The Spin Clean has been around for a while because it's very effective. The system bathes your records in specially formulated cleaners + uses pads to get deep in the grooves. The process is a bit time-consuming; but it's inexpensive compared to powered models. Deluxe package includes more fluid!
โณ Utilizes Sound Waves To Clean Without Chemicals
๐ This model was the first (and best) to offer ultrasonic cleaning at an affordable price. This compact, quiet machine uses only water + sound waves to remove dust + dirt; also dries records. Note: you'll want to only use distilled water.
โณ Fast Wet To Dry Cleaning, Powerful Vacuum Design
๐ The heavy duty VC-S3 has an upgraded motor and cabinet for quieter operation. The VC-S3 works 3 times faster than most machines - cleaning and drying records in 2 quick rotations. It also features an internal tank that captures the used fluid.
โณ Classic, Made In The USA
๐ VPI record cleaners are the classic design that others have copied. This model uses the effective wet / dry method with a powerful suction vacuum. The integrated dust cover is a great feature.
โณ No Machine Needed, Quick Drying Fluid For Everyday Cleaning
๐ One step cleaning that dissolves dirt. Quick-drying lab-grade alcohol formula leaves little to no residue. Mobile Fidelity recommends using with their own brush, although you can use with any wet-style record brush or cloth.
๐ฅHonorable Mention: Silicone Cleaner Uses Stickiness To Pick Up Dust
๐ Silicone rollers use their inherent stickiness to pick up dust. This residue-free cleaning method also pulls dust out from grooves for a deeper cleaning. Once there's too much dust on your roller, simply rinse with water to get it back to new.
๐ฅHonorable Mention: Gadget Removes Static Charge
๐ Static charge builds up on records resulting in dust + dirt buildup and clicks + pops in playback. This scientific tool has been adopted by vinyl enthusiasts to remove that charge from records. Simply point at the record and pull the trigger.
๐ฅHonorable Mention: Non-Reactive, Anti-Static Spray for Everyday Cleaning
๐ Formulated and made in the USA, the G2 includes a spray bottle, refill bottle, and label cover. This is enough to clean 150 records; if you need more go for the 32oz bottle.
