GrooveWasher Vinyl Record Cleaning Kit – Handcrafted Hardwood Handle with Scratch-Free Microfiber Pad, Essential LP Care System Includes G2 Cleaning Fluid Spray + Bonus, Erase Fingerprint Oils & Dirt

This really shouldn't be expected to do much deep cleaning. It's a great product to use on a record you're about to play to reduce/remove static and surface debris. It can't really get too far into the grooves with a cloth for really stuck on gunk, but it works very well for surface fingerprints and dust.

I run all of my album purchases (mostly VG+ or better used vinyl, but also new) through a Record Friend wash system, which knocks off all the grime, vinyl shavings and most of the grease from fingerprints. It's OK, it's no vac system but it does a good enough job. However, I found it tends to leave a lot of... something, lint? in the grooves, which comes out on the first play. The stylus tends to pull it out, depositing crud on the album after playing. And the amount of static pops tends to be pretty high on the first play as well. I bought the GrooveWasher to see if I could get more of that dust and lint off after pulling LPs out of the sleeves before playing. I was really surprised at how well this method controls static on the record! I put the record on the turntable, put the cover over the label, and squeeze off three light pumps of the included cleaning fluid around the disc. I then hand-turn the record two times around, pulling the liquid with the terry-covered cleaner, then rolling it to the dry part of the cleaner I spin it twice around again. I then start the turntable spinning, wait 10-15 seconds for any more liquid on the LP to dry out, then set the needle down. HUGE decrease in pops compared to just cleaning wet with the Record Friend, and I don't see much (if any) of that leftover residue! Since this is a touch-up cleaning when used this way, you don't need to push hard, you don't need to scrub, so it's not likely to hurt your player, break any belts. It's pretty low-tech, but does a great job at touch-up. I also noticed the included G2 fluid does a better job removing finger grease than the wet bath system did. I did not notice any build-up on my needle after playing about 30 album sides cleaned as above; I use an Onzow stylus gel cleaner after about 6-8 record side plays, and I have not seen any buildup get pulled off my Ortofon 2M Red since using the GrooveWasher. I suppose YMMV, but I can say this fluid works every bit as well as the old DiscWasher product in the 70s and 80s (which I owned back in the day). I'll be ordering refills when it comes time, without a doubt. Highly recommended!

Nice product. Cleans my vinyl records collection!

Okay. I'd use a carbon brush and micro fiber towel instead. The mat and solution and cover are fine.

This is big step up from the old DiscWasher D3 that I had and used to death in the 70's, 80's and 90's (the same one all those years by the way). It comes with a nice hard wood base and removable cleaning head, cleaning solution, a cool mat to clean your records on and a label cover so you don't wet the album label (I never thought of that before) The microfiber cleaning head seems to do a good job of getting the dust off the records and the solution also seems to clean better than the old D3. Another plus is it is made in America by a small company. I think it is worth the couple extra dollars that it costs compared to the others out there.

These record cleaning and stylus cleaning kits are top-notch. They are made of high quality materials and feel like they are built to last and easy to use Items arrived quickly. Research shows me that Groovewasher has a very good reputation.

Had albums in plastic carriers for over 20 years. Used the cleaner and they were clean and shiny, and played flawlessly! It was effortless.

Over the decades we've always used Discwashers, but they're no more. GrooveWasher is the closest thing to it. Very happy with this record cleaning kit.

This is one of those few products that not just fulfil the promised results but actually surpass them. I had a few records that were not well kept, had patches of "muck" and didn't play well in general. I was hoping that after using the GrooveWasher kit it might help, but after the first use, I was completely amazed by the results. All the much was gone, the records looked (almost) new - nice and shiny, and they played without any issues. I'll definitely make sure I have this kit handy for any future additions ti my vinyl collection.

Entrega rápida y como se describe. Este producto no hace milagros, pero es genial. ¡Yo recomiendo!
