Love your channel Frank! As a record collector from the 60's, I've learned the best way to clean a record is the simplest and cheapest. Plain rubbing alcohol and a soft cloth. NEVER use water. It contains chemicals and minerals that no matter how pure, will leave a residue. I've always had good results.

I give my records a wet cleaning using spin clean record wash and let them dry. Next, I use a roller with adhesive that picks up micro particles that the wet cleaning left behind; then I use a record cleaning brush on the records before I play them.

I have a similar tacky roller, but use it a bit differently. First, I hand-spin the record/platter a few revolutions while holding the carbon fiber brush stationary on the record, which creates a little 'row' of dust. I then roll the tacky roller across the line of dust (from center to edge), which lifts the line of dust off the vinyl. Btw, I'm sure this tacky roller is like mine, where you can rinse it under warm water periodically to clean it off and freshen the tackiness. There is no actual adhesive on the roller, UNLIKE a lint roller for clothes where you peel strips of tape off.

A good wet clean periodically to get rid of oils and dirt. The gel roller I use every time I play the LP. I just put it on the platter and use the roller slowly turning the platter and going back and forth with the roller. Really good at lifting the everyday dust that it picks up. Not a replacement for a deep clean but I find it is an indispensable part of the cleaning experience.

Hey Frank. Never tried these rollers. My ritual is similar to yours. Every new or used record I get, I wet clean in the Spin Clean tank, wipe off the excess water with the included towels and let the record air dry briefly on a foldable bamboo dish drying rack. After that, I get rid of the crappy white paper sleeves and put the clean record in a Sleeve City Diskeeper 2.0 inner. If the original inner was a lyric or photo sleeve, it goes inside the outer jacket and the whole thing goes in an outer plastic sleeve. On plays after this I’m kind of torn. I bought a carbon fiber brush and also have an original Discwasher D4 brush with the wooden handle that I’m using Groovewasher G2 fluid with as refills for the no longer available good D4 fluid.(not that crappy RCA D4 fluid). I’m still trying to decide which one (carbon fiber or wet D4 brush) is better and gets rid of more surface noise. Seems to be a toss up at this point but the D4 with G2 fluid does get rid of fingerprints or smudges better than the carbon dry brush.

Hey Frank. I use my trusty old Discwasher brush. I have run out of D4 fluid though. For deep clean I swear by the Knosti Disco Antistatic spin cleancleaner. It's neat and effective and there's no need to mix the solution or bother with microfiber cloths to dry the records. It comes with a drying rack and records are dry usually within 10-15 minutes. Also the solution can be filter recycled back into the bottle as it comes with a filter. The results are usually pretty good and has removed the occasional pops & fixed mysterious record skips. Cheers mate.

I always wondered how long the roller would last/stay tacky. For my own records, I will "deep clean" the _dirty_ stuff (dusty, grimy used records with "potential") exclusively with wood glue. I've gone through several brands, trying which suits me best, pouring a bit and then applying with my finger. It's so satisfying to see how spotless records come out when I peel it off. And then I maintain with the antistatic brush and keeping them in antistatic inner sleeves.

I’ve tried pretty much every method of cleaning my vinyl, and have owned a couple of products like that. The fact that they don’t get down inside the grooves is the issue I have with them, but I do find them great for cleaning my Herbies record mat, and I assume it’d work for most mats minus I’d think felt. For a deep clean, I prefer to use a spin clean first, and then put the record on my vacuum based RCM to suck out whatever’s left in the grooves. I learned that method from Ron Beaudry’s channel. Before that, I only used my RCM. I find Ron’s way much more effective.

I have a smaller version of one of these rollers I purchased on ebay probably for $2 and i find that I use it because it actually picks up more dust particles off of a clean record even better than a carbon fiber brush and a Milit Zerostat - I have to admit, that as someone who's ultra picky about the frequency range of my ultrasonic cleaner, the chemical composition of my surfactant, etc. I'm not 100% convinced that no residue are left behind on the vinyl surface as a result of this/these products - I often wear a magnifying glass when cleaning my records and have yet to see/discern any residue left behind by the roller - keeping finger crossed!

I never have a problem with dusty records. Back in the 70's I started using a Pixall roller. It's like sticky masking tape and then I've used Permostat on them. Spray on the vinyl, allow to evaporate and buff. In the process the static electricity is neutralised permanently. These days I don't bother treating new records, just store them with the old ones and the collective anti static ensures cleanliness. I can leave records on a bed, out of their sleeves and any specks just fall off. Old records often crackle but a lot of that is just the static electricity. After treatment some seemingly unlistenable records sound like they're mint. During the first play some old records track poorly because the stylus rakes dirt out of the groove so I have to clean the stylus with alcohol and a stylus brush. I have old supplies but I believe all these products are basically still available

Great video as usual, Frank. I bought a used Nagaoka rolling record cleaner (made in Japan) from an eBay seller many years ago for roughly $25, but the tackiness of the roller had somewhat diminished due to its age (vintage). I've bought similar tacky (sticky) rollers at Dollarama and other dollar stores for lint/pet hair removal from fabrics for $2 to $3 that operate on the same principle, but what I like about that particular record roller you demonstrated is the 4 inch width which helps to clean records faster and the quality looks a bit better than what I've found at dollar stores in terms of better, sturdier construction. However, I should try the cross-rolling method you demonstrated with my rollers to see if they achieve a similar result, particularly, as you said, for a quick clean (not necessarily the deepest clean) of a record about to be played. Considering that a record brush and a stylus cleaner can cost about $15 each or $20 to $25 as a set, that 4-piece kit is probably a decent value. :)

My question is, is this really better than a lint roller that’s also 4 inches wide and is on Amazon for about $4? As far as the stylus brush, I use the one that came with my Ortofon 2m Blue. It’s not as fancy, but it does the job. And you can find cloths at the dollar store that will do just fine. So, considering all of this, is this a good value? The only way that someone will prove to me that this is a good value is to compare it side by side with the products that I mentioned above, and see which works better (or just the same, as I suspect). The vinyl hobby can get quite expensive, and not everyone can afford specialty products like this. This is especially true when there are cheaper options that can do a comparable job. But I appreciate you taking the time to review this, Frank. This way we become educated about what’s out there, without having to shell out money to find out. Keep up the good work!!!

I place the record on an old turntable pad, spray it and use a paint pad for a deep clean. The pad follows the grooves very well. Then microfiber cloths to dry. I also use the carbon fiber anti static, dishwasher brush and a zerodust for the stylus. I am ready to upgrade to a Spin Clean system because my collection has grown and I have a backlog of cleaning to do. I think it will help my process. I did see a video about a vinyl cleaning concentrate called TergiKleen.. basically you add drops to distilled water. Have you ever used it and what are your thoughts? Thanks.

I think that’s how it works. Techmoan has played copyrighted music for a tiny bit in some of his videos and those videos are fine.

It's 10 seconds I'm sure...surely not as short as 3. I seem to remember using one of these rollers too, and then my stylus had a gummy substance afterwards. Maybe the quality of mine but it was a brand name...big fudge? I think.

What’s the difference between using this and a regular lint roller besides the size of course? Nice job wit the video Frank , I think I’ll stick to my groove washer though.

This is interesting. I mentioned this in a previous response as well, but I will have to go find a lint roller to try.

The only way to know if they really work is to try a record before and after the cleaning

For sound tests on KZitem, try classical music which seldom has copyright problems. $50 dollar value LOL maybe 50 cents value and made in China.

Hey Frank, I just started listening to vinyl a couple years ago. I do have a Spin Clean I use for a deeper clean and a RCA brush for lighter cleans. Been interested in these roller brushes as well but was wondering, I’m sure after a few uses the roller would get pretty funky. How do you clean it off? If you do clean it off (I’m assuming water) is it just as sticky as before or does it lose some of its stickiness?

I found that a sticky roller is very useful to remove tiny dust particles. *But watch out with solid debris like sand/grime, it makes the roller act like sandpaper* In some cases it can also smears out dirt... So it's effectiveness depends heavily on the type of dust/dirt you want to clean. Btw, nice new Technics, are you going to review it any time soon? 😉

Good points. It seems it is best for removing light surface dust before spinning a record. Frank

ould you recommend using it in conjunction with the Spin0Clean or just use the roller? Actually, givenn some of the grime on our older records (mostly inherited) I think I know the answer!

The roller would just be for light surface cleans. I would recommend something like the Spin Clean for deep cleans, for sure. Frank

If the grime is now attached to the roller wouldn't it act like sandpaper as it's going around? I think I'll pass on this one. I'll stick to washing and the old standard "Discwasher" to clean my records.

Larger or hard grime may. There is a warning in the instructions to watch out for that.

I used to clean every record I got with my big vacuum cleaner machine. But I rarely clean my records anymore. I find that in the end it's better to leave them as they are. And just use anti static brush + anti static gun.

Do those rollers lose their "stickiness"? How do you clean the roller after many uses?

According to the directions, just some tap water is sufficient.
