It's been a while since this video was released, but one major suggestion I can give to you and those looking to clean your records is to look into the GrooveWasher. Basically, it is a very good replica of the RCA Discwasher brush from the 70's and 80's with a solution that is the exact recipe as the fluid used for that old brush. I have been using this thing since November and honestly, it works wonders with cleaning your records. Heck, the day I typed this I saved a new record I got from serious static because of a bad inner sleeve thanks to it. Went from having massive noise to none after a few cleans.

I've used the method you demonstrate here for years, and it's fine, but I recommend putting your cleaning fluid into a spray bottle and spraying the brush with it before cleaning the record. Applying the drops directly to the brush gives you spotty coverage. It's okay, but I like spraying a lot better. Also, I don't really like applying pressure with the record on the turntable, so I prefer doing it on some other surface. I put a sturdy, cardboard record mailer on the sofa, then put a mofi inner sleeve, or even a jacket storage sleeve, on top of that. Finally, place the record on top of that. Now, you're ready to clean. You can now apply as pressure as you feel is necessary without worrying about doing something to your record platter. I like how you used the anti-static brush after cleaning. It looks like it would give you that extra step of cleaning. I'm going to have to try that.

I find with thrift store or yard sale vinyl, I'll wash them first with a light dishsoap and water solution, rinse and then dry with a microfibre cloth. I'll even use a microfiber washcloth to get deep into the grooves with the soap and water. THEN, I'll clean it using the Discwasher brush, and use a fresh, clean inner sleeve. I've brought back a lot of records this way. Some fetishists love using expensive units like the Nitty Gritty or the Spin Clean. I find good clean microfibre cloths and the discwasher brush (and a "Decca" brush) are the way to go.

There's so much wrong in this video. That flat brush you're using isn't doing anything but pushing dirt deeper into the grooves and helping to generate static electricity. The RCA Discwasher and new D4 solution is a pale imitation of the original Discwasher system. It's literally just a piece of corduroy, whereas the Discwasher had directional fibers that actually worked in the grooves. All you're doing with that is redistributing dirt and dust. The antistatic brush IS NOT MEANT TO BE USED WET AT ALL. It's also meant to be used while the record is spinning - as are ALL of these methods, in fact. You start in the center label, touching the fibers to the metal spindle to help discharge static electricity, and slowly move it across the surface to the edge. The way you're showing by simply swiping it all over the record is also likely to cause scratches. Oh, and all of these methods don't actually get any of the dirt that lodged deep within the groove. That can only be accomplished with a VPI system. Spin Cleans can also work, but they're not nearly as effective. Do you even do any research before making these videos or just assume you know what you're doing because it works for you?
@j.m.channell8938

A carbon fiber brush is fine for getting dust off right before playing, but they do sometimes shed, so keep an eye out for that. All of them are made in the same factory pretty much, so brand doesn't really matter. Just start the turntable, lightly press the brush to the record surface starting at the label touching the spindle, then slowly take it in a straight line off the edge of the record. The wet brushes do an okay job, but don't get very deep in the grooves. The RCA Discwasher is exceptionally bad. I like the Audio Technica AT6012, but use it as you would an old Discwasher. Put a line of fluid on the leading edge (not in the reservoir as designed... you'll waste a lot of fluid that way), put it on a spinning record, then turn it to the dry edge for a few rotations. Repeat on the other side and let dry - which won't take very long.

I'd suggest to incorporate Dyson suction into any vinyl cleaning procedure. Use the narrow attachment and placing a thin cloth (I use a small spectacle cleaning cloth) attach it firmly by using a sturdy elastic band to cover the narrow hole of this attachment. Then literally hoover the disc but carefully. The cloth will prevent scratch/other damage to the disc. Always apply the suction when disc is totally dry. Dust and other muck sucked from the grooves will collect on the cloth which can then be cleaned, dried and reused.

I use the Discwasher system (I've been using it for years; ever since the D3 fluid has been around). A less expensive way to dry the record is to give it a good spin on the platter of the turntable (after cleaning, turntable OFF) and fan it with an empty record jacket until the platter comes to rest. Then use the anti-static brush again to remove any dust from the previous step. Works for me. Kudos, Viny Eyzz for taking the time to help the uninitiated who might think that most things are indestructible, like "grabbing" non-scratched media from the CLOUD. The consequences of how records are handled becomes evident when they are played, like a "history lesson".

Dust is everywhere, including micro dust from human skin cells etc. BTW, the average human sheds about 6 pounds of skin cells per year for an example. If you got a family, do the math. Most of my LPs are obtained used. So dust removal is all important before even playing an LP for the first time. Fact is, with a pristine looking LP that has pops and clicks, they are caused by dust in the groves. I am fanatical about removing dust and most of my LPs are noise free with just an occasional click. and even some of those might be a glitch in the vinyl. BTW, those carbon fiber brushes are not record cleaners. What they do is remove surface dust only that can collect on a stylus and can also eliminate a static charge that can attract more dust. So they do indeed serve a very useful purpose. I use one before playing each side of an LP.

Thanks for this video. I'm 61 years old and my method of cleaning is different from, but similar to yours. I still have my original Discwasher from the 80s when I was in college. (CAVEAT: I am NOT an "audiophile." I listen to music to enjoy it. I am not offended by hearing a pop or scratch every now and then or by not hearing the highest frequency of a high hat cymbal.) This is my procedure every time I bring home a new (really it's usually used) record. I have an LP sleeve-sized piece of cardboard covered with a towel that I can remove and replace easily. I lay the record on the towel and spray it with a 70% isopropyl alcohol solution I get at the Dollar Tree for a buck in a spray bottle. Then I use the Discwasher to clean the record. I flip the record over and repeat the process. I haven't cleaned my records on my turntable in years, because I've accidentally pressed too hard and damaged them. This is easy, cheap, and, most importantly, effective. If you do this EVERY time you bring home an LP and store your LPs properly, you shouldn't have to do it every time you play your record(s). In between cleanings I use a toothbrush to clean the Discwasher and, depending how dirty it gets, I replace the dirty towel with a clean one.

When cleaning a record, it DOES matter which direction you pass the brush. Work WITH the groove which ends on INSIDE of the LP, so that whatever isn't picked up by the brush, will get PUSHED to the inside groove. NEVER lift your brush halfway, you'll end up with a line of dust across the LP. Avoid liquids, unless you really have to remove grunge and other deposits which shouldn't be there to begin with.

My experience cleaning records dates from 1965. The RCA cleaner brush is about the same as the DiscWasher from that era. Same use of fluid on the brush and wipe record. I quickly discovered that what was picked up on the wet brush stayed on the brush and became "scum" which built up over time and then got layed down on records cleaned in the future. This product was popular for a time because of massive advertizing, but its dirty little secret almost killed it off. Now its back with the RCA label. Once the brush gets dirty, it cannot be cleaned adequately, and the wet status [I think] tended to grow stuff which also got into later records. - AVOID. Spend a few bucks for "Spin Off" record cleaner instead.

The RCA Discwasher also lacks the directional bristles. It's literally a piece of corduroy.

Randall Stewart have used a D4 dishwasher brush with the solution and I found it only turns some crackles and pops into different crackles and pops. I only use it on the records that are all already ruined. Can you come back from afor ruined record?

I remember the Discwasher cleaning brush I had in the early 80's came with a small, very stiff brush that you used occasionally to remove the debris the cleaner would pick up after several record cleanings.

Hi, not sure if you will be able to answer this. But I just bought a new record and it has tons of pops and at a few points there are repetitions. I am not an expert when it comes to records. My other records have always worked fine, does this sometimes happen even with first hand records. Or should I go and get a refund?

+Hunter Covington I like them! I usually use them after I clean the record and before I actually play it. The anti-static brushes prevent clicks and pops on the records during playback.

Public service announcement: RCA Discwasher, in short SUX. Because it will push dust and into the grooves. It is best used for surface light cleaning of a vinyl disc. Water based wet cleaning systems are much, much better. They remove the compacted micro dust from very deep in the grooves. I use one for all my vinyl.

Pro's recommend that you brush your vinyl before and after use. This keeps your records from needing a deep clean as often, and is better for your cartridge.

Please stop using products like that. The only thing you are doing is make mud out of dust and your "cleaning solution" and forcing it into the tracks. In enough time the accumulated solidified dirt will have n effect on the record and in effect destroy it. Record cleaning should be done only on record cleaning machines which have a pump that will suck the cleaning solution - dirt mud. Just use your anti static brush before and after listening to a record and save some money to buy a record cleaning machine some day. If you use the brush regularly the records don't need heavy cleaning often anyway.

The only thing you'll ever need... Magic eraser dipped in water and dishwashing liquid solution . It's the best and by far most cost effective solution. Records are deep cleaned, de-bunked, lubed, anti stat and the needle stays clean. Micro fibre cloth to lightly remove moisture, no need to completely dry. Record gives more revealing hf response and is set up for its next play.

I don't see what the big excitement is. I just used filtered water in a spray bottle, sprayed each record and wiped it off with a clean cloth. Now they sound like HD. I suppose if your records are really dirty you may need to go to extreme measures though.

While these are good methods for a basic clean, seriously.....the best way to clean vinyl, especially old second hand vinyl you buy is using gum type craft glue. Glue cleaning will get your records 'pristine' clean. It's cheap and as good if not better than an RCM. There are youtube videos on this but don't use a card (credit or business) to spread the glue, use your fingers to massage it into the grooves. Once dried, peel off with the help of paper tabs and your record will be as clean as it will ever be.

Would the same products work for 78's? I have been gathering a modest collection of some rather old 78's and many of them need a good cleaning. However because of the irreplaceable nature of most (if not all), I have hesitated with cleaning them. Any advice? Thanks.

D4 is not recommended for 78s. Most record cleaning syrups are a blend with purified alcohol, distilled water , a surficant and usually another chemical agent for evaporating the solution after application. This is why they state not to use these kinds of solutions on 78's as it will dissolve the shellac.
