@brownred6 so do you have a vacuum cleaner too? Is that how it should be used? is this it: https://www.ttvjaudio.com/TTVJAudio-Vinyl-Zyme-Record-Cleaner-2-oz-Concentra-p/aat0001000.htm ? |
I started with Spin Clean but found the results marginal at best. Next step up was the https://squeakycleanvinyl.com/ system which is a vacuum system using the shop vac of your choice. At $175 CAD it’s a serious bang for the buck cleaner. I still use the Squeaky Clean but in conjunction with a Vinyl Stack ULTRA and a 6L ultrasonic tank. The ultrasonic system was about $600 CAD but still a contender for bang for the buck in the US space. Sadly the Vinyl Stack folks have retired and no longer supply the system. |
You're gonna laugh but after using everything from spin clean to an ultrasonic cleaner fitted with a spinning motor, my favorite, most effect cleaner is without a double the Vinyl Vac. I wet clean the record with a Mofi brunsh, then, while still wet, Vac up all the gunk. I let it try, hit it with a carbon fiber anti stain brush, and it's done. Now I only break out the ultrasonic for old, used and abused vinyl. It's only $30 on Amazon. Sounds overpriced for what it is, but it works incredibly well, and it's the best bang-for-buck cleaner out there, imho. |
+1 for squeaky clean It's not fancy and a bit awkward to leave out due to having a small shop vac involved but if you are going to make cleaning a once in a while event where you get everything out and clean one evening and then put it up it would work great. I would recommend buying a couple extra of the cleaning brushes. I didn't ask for extra and he says he doesn't sell separately so not sure if he would allow additional ones to be added to an order. |
