vinyl cleaning

[joepiecuch]

looking for recommendations for record cleaning brushes. most of the vinyl i'm playing is new but still has the occasional bit of debris. i'm hoping there's something simple, effective and easy to use.

I use the AudioQuest anti-static brush

I really like the groovewasher brush and fluid for a good quick clean (https://www.groovewasher.com/products/groovewasher-walnut-record-cleaning-kit).  It really seems to knock out the static and it dries quickly.  Even with new records it really helps get rid of all the pops due to static.

When you want to step it up a bit I highly recommend this 3d printed vacuum setup.  https://squeakycleanvinyl.com/products/squeakycleanvinyl-mk-iii.  You just get a cheap wet dry vac to go with it and it's very easy and quick to wash a bunch of records with it.

For daily cleaning I use the Audioquest brush. I recently picked up a Humminguru ultrasonic cleaner as well and that seems to do really well at cleaning more thoroughly.

I have a Record Doctor VI, it works pretty well.  https://www.whathifi.com/us/reviews/record-doctor-vi

What I like about this approach is it is quick to clean a single LP quickly before you listen to it.

I used a Spin Clean before and it works great, but you have to kinda clean a few LPs to make the effort worth it.
