soulsisterann-my way of cleaning vinyl-01

[ny718bx]

You sound a lot like a DJ on WKCR here in NYC.

[ninjabluewings]

You Have A Real Warm & Rich Sounding Voice

[dimebagdave77]

good method,sexy voice.

[null140]

you're perhaps the first person i've heard talk about cleaning vinyls who hasn't mentioned some obscure, subjectively opinionated method of cleaning. i really appreciate the lack of bullshit; it's refreshing. and also, you sound like the Oracle from the matrix.

[oatstao]

@null140 yeah..she's on point. :D I have used this method with my favorite solution..but I use a fine haired paint brush the width of the record post soak - with the solution that is simply Dr.Bonners watered down 1/20th . it's PH balanced and takes all grime away quickest of any soap and washes away quickly as it is naturally bio-degradeable.

[null140]

@oatstao sounds good!

[LOUDNESSrocks]

Rubbing Alcohol is what i use to clean vinyl records, and I find that it is one of the best record cleaners, and cheap, too CAUTION: Avoid contact with the label, and make sure record is dry before playing.

[oatstao]

@LOUDNESSrocks not necessary. If you have mouldy records then it's a good idea . but avoid isopropol alcohol as much as you can due to it's carcinogenic properties. I use a mist for dirty labels and for cleaning the jackets. you would not believe the amount of grime that comes off clean looking jackets. Just stay away from WOOD FUCKING GLUE. yeah the concept works. but it's a waste of time and WOOD GLUE. Don't bother. you can clean your records by hand in 5 mintues or less..don't bother glue

[LOUDNESSrocks]

@oatstao yes, I think that the wood glue is "over-kill" and I don't think it is all that great on the record.

[Jellybeantiger]

I reckon water damaging records is another audiophile myth.

Distilled water LMAO.

Cmon,you suckers.

[oatstao]

@Jellybeantiger it's amazing They make people run in fucking circles. Rockaway records tells people to use Aeresol fucking WINDOW CLEANER. yeah and make sure you use ionized demagnetized triple filtered water. what a fucking scam. I use a manual method and tools that cost $15 and running water. I have sold records for 15 years and not one person around the globe has had an issue and I can prove I have one of the best and cleanest systems. Even vacuum cleaners quickly build up gung and streak

[sgntpepper95]

i have the same turntable

[traceurhero]

thats looks like led zep 3

[NEXTGENSKYN]

i just bought a record and one song skips but it has no scratches if i clean it will it help

[kjigmond]

Yes, sometimes it helps. Sometimes you can't see the scratch that causes a skip, or one groove may be cut too lose to another groove (factory defect). A couple of my record players skip on loud bass passages because the pick up is too stiff and doesn't allow the needle to move with the groove.

[NEXTGENSKYN]

ok thank you so much for the info

[hemingway36]

what type of turntable is that and how much did it cost?

[soulcentral33]

Its An ION Bro, Got Mine At Radioshack This Past Christmas... Its A Nice One

[JTClarion]

Water, 1 drop of Dawn, and a shaving brush. A bit of skill and care and you have wonderfully clean records. Vinyl records are pressed at 800 degrees F at several tons of pressure. Clean H2O will not damage them, at all. Man, I wish all these myths would go away.

[MarkPMus]

Ordinary water will damage your records, as will window cleaners and most fluids. Only clean really scuddy records, and use a commercially available solution especially for the job. As the soul sister says, you shouldn't need to clean records that often. Just look after them, and give them a quick wipe with a record cleaning pad before playing, and Bob's your aunty. See my Disco Antistat videos for a cheap commercial solution that is very effective.

[quickmantan]

water will break a record if you wash it, but the cheapest and best way to clean it, is by a screen cleaning cloth, you get with LCD screens and sometimes phones,,, you wet the clothe and rise it til its only damp.... it becomes very dry and the material is very soft and isnt fluffy, hense its made for LCD screen... its surely softer and does less damage than a brush..the cloth i use is not like the one on the video its more like a shammy leather.. picks up dust and doesnt scratch anything.

[DrCassette]

I am cleaning my records using ordinary water, and it never damaged any records. If water is used to clean a record, it is extremely important to dry off the water after cleaning. Only if the water stays on the record, it will damage it.

[quickmantan]

yep thats all i do vinyls can handle water unlike CDs... but yes gotta dry them before play. cause water sticks in the grooves aswell
