@larryincmh +1 I have done exactly the same thing for decades. This brush actually pics up dust off the record. Single most cost effective brush out there. Can't believe this has not been resurrected.
A GOOD dry record cleaning device
I have tried several “on turntable platter” dry” cleaning brushes. I currently wash my albums (wet clean) with a Spin Clean wash manual system before they are ever played. I currently use Audio Quests’ new Carbon fiber brush first and then a Big Fudge cleaner with their cleaning solution afterwards before the stylus drops onto vinyl. (Yes I clean the stylus too). I am not sold the Big Fudge is cleaning the grooves well enough…
Can y’all give me your thoughts and suggestions please for a better cleaner?
