I have a serious phobia problem with cleaning records

Listen to whart, a RCM is nothing more than another way to spin a record. How clean it gets has little to do with the RCM and almost everything to do with YOU- what solutions you use with it, and in what order, and especially how fastidious you are about keeping the vacuum nozzle brushes clean.  

Because, if you want your records really clean then whatever you use and however you do it that last final rinse and vacuum is what will determine your final results. You can do everything else perfect and if the last vacuum is done with anything other than perfectly clean bristles all you are doing is smearing goop around on your nice clean record.  

That is why Better-records.com uses the machine that constantly feeds a brand new perfectly clean thread to vacuum. That is why the only thing I use my VPI for is to vacuum off the final rinse.  

A lot of the different opinions and results you will hear stem from this one important point. You can use all the best stuff in the world and get mediocre results because you didn't use it properly. Or you can use Dawn or just about anything else and get stellar results because you did it right. 

It ain't rocket science. It ain't nothing to be afraid of. If you find yourself paralyzed with fear just remember, baby steps. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yl6s6DGapug

Good question. More to the point, how can we help?

HiI have RCM phobia .And I need help to over come my phobia wiith cleaning records. I'm ok with a Mofi brush or a cloth and just go in a circle and clean the dust off... But I am terrified of liquids and machines. Because I never know the right one to choose. The automation one's that all cost more I think give me some kind of small security but even reading stories on here now give me second thoughts. The machines aren't perfect either. As for doing manually forget it ...

So if we take this seriously one, it's a phobia. An unreasonable, groundless fear. So either he's joking, or he needs counseling. 

He says he's terrified because he doesn't know the right one to choose. Well, it's the Walker 4step Enzyme cleaning system. Or even if not, well any liquid cleaning system is better than what he's doing, wiping the dust off. 

But he refuses to buy a machine, and refuses to clean manually.  

So every single thing we could suggest, he has categorically ruled out. There really is nothing more to say other than seek psychiatric counseling. That's not a dig, just a solid logical conclusion based on everything the OP himself has said. 

But that is if we take him seriously. If we take it as humor then all I can say is, don't quit your day job!

Back in the 90's there was a guy Joe at Corner Audio in Portland, had some of the best high end gear anywhere along I5 up to Seattle and beyond. I'm in there one time and he pulls out a record and makes a big deal holding it all wrong, getting his fingers all over it, never touching the edge, probably sat it down on a counter for good effect. You get the idea. Played the record, Santana Abraxas reissue, sounded great. Was only years and years later the wisdom sank in. You can OCD over records, or you can enjoy them. I clean mine, sure. Walker Enzyme. But I do not obsess over it. Nor should you. Nor should anyone. Wind up like the guy with delicious wine unable to enjoy even a sip for fretting if at one time five years ago it was subjected to three degrees too much heat. Do not be that guy.
