A short video tutorial on the best method I have found for deep cleaning vinyl records. This method is inexpensive and restores records in about a day. It is perfect for turntablists with really dirty records. Enjoy!

  • protect the label with a yogurt lid.

  • @GPJeff Great advice!

  • @AxiomAndAllies Absolute insanity for anyone who really cares about their records.Use a VPI or Keith Monks record cleaning machine. Do not put glue on your records !!!

  • @GumboJim007 Thanks, but we addressed this concern in comments right below. This tutorial was made for turntablists. The kind of enthusiasts that have every intention of putting hands on the record and manipulating the sound through scratching and juggling. The kind of vinyl enthusiasts your comment refers to would use entirely different methods to clean their collectible vinyl. The vinyl turntablists use are prone to much more wear and debris and need a more intense cleaning method.

  • @BaloneyPolice That is great advice, but this tutorial was created by, and for, turntablists. The kind of enthusiasts that have all the intentions of using the turntable as a musical instrument and not just a device for simple playback. The kind people that skratch and juggle vinyl records. This video was created to help them maintain the records they use for those specific purposes. Thanks for the obvious comment anyhow.

  • One lady has been cleaning her records for 20 years with glue and it had no negative effects on the records whatsoever. Scrubbing with velvet brushes is better? (No scrubbing at all with glue) <- does not sound insane to me.

  • Great idea, takes a bit of time if you have a bunch that need cleaning though...the end result looks amazing.

  • @AxiomAndAllies ok i will :).

  • @TimeMachine1984 Anytime. =D Let me know if you find something that works really well.

  • I use Tite Bond II, great results!

  • @AxiomAndAllies lol jeah i didnt know the word thought it whas substandsials :), but what i ment with that word whas the ingredients that form the gleu. Ok i get what you mean the store in my hood has 3 types strong super strong and normal i will take the normal one first, and yes i will try it on a record thats really in bad state.

    thanks for the advice though.
