Spin Clean after Steam Cleaning?

I am new to vinyl and I have read extensively (10+ hours) the wealth of knowledge on cleaning LPs on this site. Thanks everyone, especially you steam clean proponents.

Anyhow, I had a longer post that was rejected by the forum mods (great first post huh?), so I am just going to ask a specific question.

I was thinking of getting a spin clean to use after steam cleaning. I read one forum member who used it in this capacity to remove debris after the cleaning process. But it makes me wonder if there are other methods (microfibers for instance) that could be used instead and without buying another piece of equipment.

Just FYI, I am a noob to vinyl.

Thanks for your input.

Hi Drinky

Here is an older video from an audiogon member who used steam cleaning with vinyl and his record cleaning machine. He says it could be done manually.

I would actually use the spin clean first and then do the steam cleaning after.
