How do you clean records?

Isbjørn · 07-31-2015, 08:46 AM

Wood glue, alcohol, dish soap, distilled water, dishwasher, etc. This gets confusing real quick.

What method works best for you?

Don't play records (assume you mean vinyl?) anymore, but when I did, I used to use an antistatic cloth you could purchase in any record shop, or if that was not handy, the sleeve of my jumper. Blowing on the disc also helps, removes dust.

Any sort of cloth that can remove dust. I don't think it's a good idea to put any sort of liquid or soap on it as it could potentially ruin the record.

Any updates here? I still use only a clean cloth. But I think there might be some good cleaning products out there. Any recommendations?

I use wet wipes occasionally, but honestly, I don't do that too often. Thanks to Clean Team customer service, my flat is always clean, and my records are well-organized. I don't have much time to spend at home, so I prefer when someone else takes care of the cleaning for me. Their team is reliable and efficient, ensuring everything is spotless and in order, which gives me peace of mind and allows me to focus on other important tasks.
