Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab - Record Brush - MOFI MFSL

These are great brushes, wet or dry! I have three, one for dry cleaning and two for wet cleaning. I originally bought for dry cleaning. Then bought a record dr vacuum cleaner so I tried wet. Well, the pad came unglued right away. I had seen reviews mentioning that so not surprised. The next morning after dry, the pad stuck right back on. It’s not dissolving the glue, simply releasing it. Since it’s made for wet cleaning, there appears to be a manufacturing issue. So, I grabbed a rubber band to keep the pad in place. Even without, the pad didn’t slip of slide off of the rubber. I read another review that mentioned the replacement pads stayed glued when wet. I may order just to test. I will amend this review if I do. Anyway, the band worked perfectly and I actually like the look. Plus, if I set down on the edge, it protects the pad from getting contaminated by any foreign objects that may be the surface. After I use for cleaning, I rinse with distilled water, press on a lint free cloth and the when dry, glue is sticking like new! I’m going to get another color rubber band so I can easily identify the two wet cleaning brushes, one’s for cleaner, the other for ultra pure water rinse. I use a different record doctor bristle type brush for the second cleaner in between. It’s a very effective combination! As other reviews note, a few threads will fray at the ends. No big deal, I have a pair of scissors to snip them off. Don’t pull them! After a few come loose, it stabilizes and rarely have to trim. Even with the glue and minor fraying, it’s an awesome brush. So, don’t send it back, get a rubber band and scissors and keep this little beauty. Hopefully they get the issues fixed in future production, but for now, I can deal with it just fine.

I have a VPI 16.5 and have been experimenting with different chemicals and brushes/pads. I am very cautious as there are many products out there that will damage vinyl. So the trick is to find a cleaner and brush that work in one or two operations and has no chance of damaging the vinyl records. I currently use MOFI Super Deep Clean and the MOFI cleaning brush/pad for the first pass, and then use distilled water for the second. I have had much better results dong this than any other chemicals/methods and brushes, with virtually no risk of damage to the LP. The VPI fluid/ VPI brush combo is very good and safe, but, it dosen't seem to have the cleaning power of the MOFI Super Deep Clean and brush combo. VPI says you can add alcohol to boost cleaning, but, in my efforts I have found alcohol to be a strong cleaner that can leave permanent "fizz" on LP's

If you are patient, you can get good results with this. Using a good quality record cleaning fluid like L'art Duson or AIVS or somethign similar, and just fllow the grooves. The felt seems to track into them nicely, and get surprisingly deep. I've even had luck on removing old, stubborn finger prints from some records (which I have found to be the hardest thing to remove when they get to be 40+ years old).+ The only con is that these do wear out... You can probably use it 20 times, then it seems to be done. I heard a rumor that the felts are replaceable... if that is true, that is a tremendous plus... I just haven't found them anywhere yet (though I havne't looked very hard).

Just received my MoFi record brush. I have used it wet with my Record Doctor VI. I’ve cleaned 5 records (both sides) so far and it has worked flawlessly and still looks like new. I’ve noticed less surface noise after using this as a wet brush with my Record Doctor VI. I haven’t experienced any of the problems that a few others have reported about the felt falling apart after first using it. So far I would highly recommend it. If anything changes I will update this!

I read the reviews for this item before purchasing and saw that some reviewers had quality control issues with it. My unit arrived in excellent shape and has stood up to about a month's worth of use with no signs of wear. The surface is a velvet like texture of very short bristles that really get into the grooves of the record. It will bring out a visible line of dust even when used after a conventional anti static brush or microfiber cloth. One downside is that it will leave a line of dust where you stop on the record which can then be removed with anoth cloth or brush. It also is good for applying disc cleaner or distilled water if you use it. I am considering purchasing a second one so as to have one each for wet and dry applications.

I bought two of these, one for wet cleaning with distilled water, one for dry. The only complaint is that the pad wants to separate at the edges in the wet mode. Otherwise it seems to do the job on vinyls. I also use the dry brush to clean my bigscreen TV.

This is nice for knocking some dust off. It isn’t as good as the spin clean or ultrasonic bath methods but it’s way faster and fine to knock dust off between baths. A plus is that replacement pads are available and the brush has enough weight that you can let the weight of the brush determine cleaning force.

I suspect that this is the premiere vinyl cleaning brush of this type, and it's just fine. It gets points for that. However, I've found others on Amazon that I like a little better in terms of the design, feel in the hand, and surface area of the material. I've found myself just not using this one in favor of the Eveo one I bought, which is a little more pleasant to use.

I like the feel of the handle for really "scrubbing" old vinyl. Certainly a better choice than the smaller and flimsier ones provided in other record cleaning care products, although longevity of the replaceable pad is yet to be determined.

Bonjour,outil très utile pour les vinyles avant chaque utilisation.A recommander.

Ottima spazzola, come tutti i prodotti Mofi!

Feels good in the hand, good weight and width. Pleasure to use and cleaned exceptionally. It can shed some at the ends beware.

Great for wet cleaning, very well designed
