what is the best/cheapest way to clean dust off records without damaging them? |
||||||||
|
|

Lighter fluid, honestly. Works for removing stickers from sleeves also. It evaporates almost immediately. Don't do it while smoking though. |

whoa cool |

think I'll wait for a second opinion on that one |

Only-just-warm water with a hint of non-alcohol-based shower gel and a soft brush. Spin dry on a screwdriver (without touching the playing surface). |

cheers, what sort of thing would classify as a soft brush? something like a toothbrush or something more like those frilly pipe cleaners |
||||||||

A soft toothbrush would work if you wanted to put some detailed groove-work into it. But a j-cloth should work, provided it's clean and new (and wet) (you don't want to get bits of old j-cloth in the grooves). Also, don't spin dry on a biro, you'll jigger the hole with it's jazzy hexagonal edges. |

make sure its realy soft, otherwise it will scratch and ruin the vinyl |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
sure |
||||||||
|

man, just use your sleeve...it'll wor just the same... however....most record shops will ahve some sort of vinyl cleaning solution if you want them to be all shiny and stuff |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I agree....go to a record store, and buy the proper stuff. They'll look nice and shiny as well. |

Use a nice anti-static brush when your records are brand new and they'll take a lot longer to get dusty. If you can afford to, get the Moth MKII record cleaning machine. The best I've used, it even seems to get sort out scratches that cause skips to a degree. Not cheap at around £340 though mind. |

I've got a discwasher record cleaner. it consists of a soft brush, cleaning fluid, and a little brush for cleaning the record-cleaning brush afterwards. it's simplistic, but it works like a charm. |
