Spin-Clean Vinyl Record Washer Deluxe Kit | Vinyl Record Cleaner | Extra Five Drying Cloths, 32oz. Fluid & Brushes | Perfect for 33, 45 & 78 RPM

I purchased the Disc Cleaner along with the Hudson gel stylus cleaner and I have to say I am blown away with the results. My LPs are clean and look almost new. They sound GREAT too which is the main thing. I am rediscovering my vinyl with this combination. Vocals and instruments sound redefined and vibrant and 'real' now. My Rega deck never sounded better (and they don't recommend cleaning like this! huh?) I was skeptical at first (but encouraged by the Amazon reviews) as with everything audio, it's over priced and usually gimmicky, but with this I am a convert now. Old scratchy records still sound scratchy however, BUT the improved sound quality makes up for quite a bit, and the scratches seem less noticeable. LPs in good condition now sound SUPERB! Quite a noticeable difference in the fidelity of each recording! It was the quality which surprised me. The improvement in audio fidelity and response has been startling. I am now convinced that LPs CAN sound better than CDs! Using the Disc Cleaner is kinda fun. It's very easy too. It WON'T damage your record's label!! (quite a few reviewers were concerned about this) Even if the label gets wet, the fluid easily wipes off and leaves no trace. I found the cloths provided with the unit perfectly satisfactory in removing the fluid from the LP once the cleaning process (3x turns clockwise, then the same anti-clockwise) is over. I will add however that I have found wiping the LP dry in ONE direction is beneficial. Here is my technique:- First, lay one of the cloths flat on a firm surface to act as a base for the operation. This will also absorb a lot of the excess fluid. Fold the other cloth into a third of its width, then fold it to half its length. This is roughly the size of the playing surface of one side. Wipe the vinyl SLOWLY in a clockwise direction (I prefer to a.c.). Don't 'scrub' it. A slow steady movement will get a lot of the liquid off the disc. Then softly wipe again to remove all the residue. You will see the droplets disappear and the record takes on the appearance of a new one. The REASON I fold the cloth so is that now, I use the opposite DRY side to finish off wiping the record. Turn the record over. You will see a mottled effect from the other cloth and it's drying. This wipes off very easily with the now slightly damp side to look just like the first side and again, you can use the dry side to finish the record and - done!! With subsequent cleanings you will find that the 'wiping' cloth starts to dampen quite a bit. THIS is why I fold it, so you can just turn to a drier side for more cleanings. One cloth using this technique can last for at least a dozen cleanings! The cloth on the reverse side helps too, and you can just turn this over when it too starts to get loaded with cleaner. When finished, REMOVE the pads in the unit. Leaving them in the solution will be detrimental to their effectiveness. Common sense really. When you remove them, squeeze them firmly together to get as much cleaner out of them as possible. Rinse under a warm tap and again squeeze to remove the water and then pat them with a cloth and let them air dry for future use. I actually rinse the rollers too because you will notice there is a soft rubbery part in the centre of the plastic roller. I'm not sure how it is affected by the cleaning solution so I rinse them, just in case. I then rinse the cloths in a CLEAN soapy solution and thoroughly rinse them and then dry them in a tumbler dryer. Can't be too careful with vinyl really! When ready for another cleaning, I wet the pads using the existing solution as any dirt residue is now at the bottom of the tank and won't contaminate the pads or the records to be cleaned. I noticed that some LPs were surprisingly hard to spin in the tank. I'm assuming that it's just grit and dirt that makes it so, and I found that STEADY and firm handling did the trick and within two revolutions it was turning quite easily. The same with the other direction. Some LPs are of course dirtier than others and I found that a few were better after 5 or 6 turnings in each direction (two cleanings?) but all were noticeably better in appearance and sound after cleaning. I think the Hudson stylus cleaner helped considerably too and would strongly recommend this be a part of your package as well. I'm so surprised at the difference using these two items has made and am quite prepared to say that it is worth the investment. Whether or not a cleaner costing nearly a grand would be any better, I can't say, but for this amount, these two cleaners have provided great value for money. I am rediscovering my vinyl!! Can't say more than that. Happy spinning! (Did I mention - you have to turn the record manually, but if you keep a steady pressure on it and are sensitive to its resistance, it's no problem)

The Spin Clean Record Cleaner works great and is super easy to use. My records sound clearer with much less surface noise after cleaning. It’s a simple, affordable way to make vinyl sound better.

I've washed about a hundred records now using this system and I'd like to offer some thoughts. First, it's a fantastic setup for the beginning turntablist that might not have a cleaning regimen in place. Some folks wash their records at the sink for pennies. Some have thousand dollar machines that enable them to employ cleaning systems with varying degrees of complexity. Both strategies seem to work pretty well, each with pretty vocal exponents. In terms of the value for middle-of-the-roading these two extremes: For the cost, I give this system 5 stars. In terms of sheer performance I'd probably have to knock off one star. Let me allay any fears: This machine works great and using it will far heighten your record playing experience vs not cleaning your vinyl or using a surface cleaner (such as the now borderline useless discwasher system). First some positives: I love the cleaning solution (which seems to draw the most critics). The solution contains a flocculant that weighs any particulate out of the record grooves to the bottom of the tank. It dries clean; works effectively. The brushes are fairly easy to clean (I use a soft bristled toothbrush after 20 or so records, or fewer if they are in bad condition). They can be taken out, cleaned or reinstalled at any point if the results start to seem dubious. Also they are quite durable. The setup as a whole is much easier on my back than standing over a sink. IMO. YMMV ;) The main flaw of this system seems to be the very simple design which makes it so attractive! There are folks who own two, and use a second one just for rinsing the records. I use it as instructed but I've found the main fault to be in the towels- and, in fact the whole concept of hand drying. I've damaged a few records just trying vigorously to get them dry quickly, so as to eliminate as much of the cleaning solution as possible from the surface. It's not ideal. A separate vacuum setup might be useful (though admittedly costly). I've actually heard of folks making their own 'dryers' out of vacuum cleaners to this end. Also the towels shed. Some folks favor microfiber towels for this reason, but I've found that those also shed, just at the micro level- you can't necessarily see the fibers, but they're there. You can certainly hear them and they become that much harder to get out of the grooves, being so small. So, even though occasionally I find towel fibers remaining on freshly cleaned records the problem is usually just superficial (not getting into the whole question of cleaning the towels and cross contamination that could occur with surface contact) and usually goes away with subsequent cleaning and easier drying, or just through actual playing of the records. All of this to say: DRY CAREFULLY. I've also used a terrycloth hand towel for drying with decent results. Overall, this system is a terrific start though- keeping clean records is maybe fundamentally the single best thing one can do to enhance one's listening experience; and, as the vast majority of my own records were once owned by someone else, I've been able, with this setup, to give them an illustrious second life and keep them playing as they should.

If you're like me and like listening to Vinyl records, then some cleaning and maintenance is a "must". There are a bunch of very expensive machines out there that does the cleaning for you, but it's still pretty manual and time consuming, and for the prize I feel they are not worth it. (I have yet to hear a dirty record after it's been cleaned by one of those machines IRL) For the money I figured I'd go for this Spin-Clean Record Washer kit, together with a vinyl brush (Audioquest??) which you'd use before and after you play a record. It's no doubt that it works, and helps you get a "cleaner" sound, but they don't perform magic. I buy a lot of used LP's, and while some are in good shape, others aren't, and by playing them you might even damage them further. That's when you need to clean them. New records also benefit from being cleaned to reduce static noise etc. What this kit does is give your records what I'd like to call a "superficial" cleaning, which means that your records get cleaner, but not all clean. They look better and shinier, which is why I call it "superficial". Even if I cleaned them twice, or even a third time, they were still dirty. It does not get all the grime and s*** off of your records. For example: Some used records had different spots of grime and fingerprints that are still there after a very thorough cleaning. Pros: - Easy - Quiet (obviously), and that means you can listen to music while you clean, watch TV or whatever. - Cheap(-ish). - Your records are cleaner afterwards - Easy to hide, don't take a lot of space Cons: - Don't remove all spots and grime - Time-consuming - The cloths that come with it are pretty much useless, get some microfiber cloths or something instead. All in all, I'd say you should try it. It's not an expensive kit compared to the money you've probably put into your record collection. If you have the money though, a machine would probably be better.

There are a number of terrific reviews here, but as a 37 year audio nut, I thought I'd add my two cents. Let me first say this is the best record cleaning system I've used bar none. Not only is it effective, it's down right addictive! I've done as many as 60 in one session, to as few as five. Prior to obtaining this, I had developed my own wet system with two PVC caps that clamped over the labels, a sink full of soapy water, and a painters pad combined with elbow grease. It worked great! There were two problems. 1) It took forever. 2) It was hard to keep the record from flexing while scrubbing it, especially if it had mildew or a stubborn stain. It convinced me however that a wet cleaning system was superior even to a vacuum. You cannot duplicate the scrubbing action of a wet system by running a brush around a record on a platter. If you could, we'd all be using discwasher brushes for everything. With the Spin Clean I've taken albums that were so dirty or mildewed that I might not normally purchase them even if they were cheap, and turned some of them into near perfect copies. Let me emphasize that a scratched record will always be a scratched record no matter how clean you get it. I've taken records that were covered in dust, dirt, mildew, nicotine, and what looked like soda stains and achieved remarkable results. Here are some tips I've learned. Always start with cleaner records first. You can easily get 50 done per batch if you start with clean ones and work your way toward the dirtiest at the end. If the record has only light dust with a few fingerprints, I give it two spins in each direction. I then set the album in the slot behind the record brushes, and allow it to drain for a minute or so into the reservior. I then lay the album on a (very important) micro-fiber towel, and wipe it down with a micro-fiber cloth. The cloth works better after you clean the first record or two and becomes a little damp. You can even rub at a stubborn finger print or mark with the cloth. I then put the record on a clean towel to air dry a bit more before placing it in a new sleeve. (A record or dish rack would work even better for drying) If you are cleaning relatively clean records, the fluid will last a long time provided you remove the brushes and put the top over the Spin Clean. I increase the number of turns based on how dirty the record is, but never need more than six turns in each direction. I also use the supplied towels to gently wipe dust, lint or pet hair off of the really dirty records before I clean them. On the really filthy ones I like to end with one extra turn in the reverse direction, the theory being that some of the lint pulled from the grooves that has not dislodged will do so when pushed to the opposite direction one more time. Let the record dry a bit, and it there is a stubborn spot or two, set it back in the Spin Clean and go back and forth just in that area. If that doesn't get it (and it ususally will), don't be afraid to bear down on it with your micro cloth! The best judge of when to change the fluid is the "sniff test". I've found when the water gets too dirty it developes a certain unpleasant odor. Of course if it looks dirty you should change it regardless. To Spin Clean's credit however, just like they say the cleaning solution bonds to the dirt and takes it to the bottom of the reservior. You can continue to use it with no risk of stirring it up. When it's time to clean it, carry it to a sink that has a flexible water nozzel and spray it out until clean with WARM water. I've experimented with different ways to clean the brushes, and the nozzel works best for them as well. Don't forget to squeeze the excess moisture out of the pads! I'd also recommend cleaning the pads every 25 records or so, or every 10 if they are very dirty. Why risk it when it's so easy?! As much as I love my machine, it does have a fault. The rollers sometimes have a tendency to ride up or pop out of the spin clean if the record is slightly out of round or has a rough edge. Go slow if this happens, because I had it happen once and it launched the record out of my hands as well! Usually this effect can be minimized by experimenting with different pressure and hand placement. I do wish Spin Clean would come out with a model featuring attached wheels that would solve this minor problem. One could probably also modify an existing unit in a way that would correct it, although I've not felt the urge to do so. Dispite this minor problem, I can't say enough good things about the Spin Clean! I like to buy jazz albums from garage sales, Goodwills, flea markets, and clearance sections of record stores. I had accumulated so many that were too filthy to play that I began setting them aside in a "do not play" pile. Some of these now play better than new, and I don't even blink at buying a dirty record now as long as it appears relatively scratch free. The best part of cleaning them? Listening to them while you work!! Bravo Spin Clean! Thanks for making my life easier without charging a fortune!

I am a hobbyist DJ, and recently purchased a dj midi controller. I am in the process of digitizing all my old vinyl, and was looking for an effective and inexpensive way to deep clean my records. Some of my records, that were handed down to me, are older than I am. (30+yrs) I have always cleaned my records with windex and a microfiber cloth. While researching record cleaning machines, I came across other methods of deep clean records. I tried the wood glue method and found it a bit messy! Plus the wait for the glue to dry was too long, in my opinion. I ruined on of my LPs, when I tried to remove the glue. It cracked my vinyl and made it unplayable. Back to the drawing board for me. Then I came across a video on youtube that shows the Spin Clean in action. It looked easy and quite inexpensive.(compared to buying a record cleaning machine with vacuum parts) I decided to give it a try, and I am so glad I did! I didn't realize my records were that dirty, since I clean them periodically with Windex and keep them in thier sleeves. By the time I got done with cleaning about 30 records, the water in the bin was starting to resemble ice tea. I decided to stop and let the particles settle just to see what it looked like. I was astonished at the amount of deposits in the bottom of the bin. This product works!!! Drastically reduced or eliminated my pops and clicks!!! I was curious on seeing if it would remove scratches from records, but the Spin Clean just cleans, and it does a fantastic job. I would recomend this to anyone who is looking to digitize some old records and wants superior sounding digital music. I love what it did to my vinyl collection, hands down the best product I've ever tried!!! Note: you have to manually turn the record 3 times each direction to clean the record.(I would recommend a couple of more cleanings if the record is filthy) Not alot of work, in my opinion, very small price to pay!!! I also purchased a couple of plastic coated metal file folders from home depot to place the cleaned records so they can dry safely. I would recommend the file folders, just to prevent accidental scratches while they are out of thier sleeves.

This kit is old school and effective. My son cleaned dozens of records quickly. Good product.

The Spin-Clean system has been around since 1975 the literature says. I really, really wish I had known of it in 1977 when I got my first decent turntable (..a Dual 504 I worked all summer for). At that time the wooden-handled "Discwasher" with its D3 fluid were sold as "must-have" items. They did a decent job for daily cleaning. The new, RCA-made Discwasher RCA RD-1006 Discwasher Vinyl Record Care System is awful as it replaces the micro-fiber directional pad to...get ready, folks, corduroy!! The Spin-Clean is not for everyday cleaning. It is for cleaning any old OR NEW disc you have or will have. I recently bought a number of 180 gram vinyl re-issues and was ready to give vinyl up! HOW could it be compared to digital with all of the noise, even on new disks? I began to read on the problem, which led me to the Spin-Clean. Back when it was all we had, the music is what mattered. A few pops and clicks were expected and we lived with them, reducing them as much as possible. In the 1970's the quality of raw vinyl dropped and prices for raw vinyl so high that RCA and others began melting and recycling old vinyl without decent quality-control. Pops and clicks were stamped into these from "birth". But I always wondered how record stations ever kept vinyl sounding as good as they did. CLEAN RECORDS are the answer to all of the "dirt" on enjoying records. The truth is they MUST be washed, somehow. Super-strong vacuum systems do very well but even they usually use a wet component in their system. These are self-motorized, semi-automated machines usually from $500 to $1500.00 . Great for the college library. At home, however, the Spin-Clean works just fine. YES, you have to use your arms and hands to spin the record through the brushes. It works...a motor to do it would drive up the cost and degrade the simple reliability of the unit. There is nothing to go wrong, really. Drying the records is the weak link in the process but if the record is washed properly and the drying cloths are clean it works great. The drying cloths are lint-free natural cloth and should be cared for well. They are important. That is why I recommend the deluxe kit. It has plenty of drying cloths and fluid plus extra brushes. I have found that if a record is very old, molded, stained, etc. it will need extra cleaning...even turning the record a quarter-turn, letting it soak. It loosens up some things that a quick three spins will not. If you have albums, 78's or 45's and want to hear them as they should be get this. Get this before you get a turntable! It is that good. It is not fancy but it works. The difference is in the SOUND. The biggest upgrade you can make to a vinyl playback system. A must-have. Along with items like Audio Technica AT6012 Record Care Kit - Includes Record Care Solution, Brush Pad, Storage Base and Adhesive Tape and a stylus cleaner.

This is an essential piece of hardware to go with your record collection. Really deep cleans my records. Cleans records so well that you don't have to clean your needle often if at all. I haven't brushed my needles since I bought this because they don't get dirty anymore. Also very relaxing to use and clean a bunch of records at a time. One capful of solution cleans up to 50 records. They give you enough cleaning liquid to clean over 5000. So far I've washed about 1500 records and the brushes are still in perfect shape and I have more than half a bottle (big bottle) of liquid left. I highly HIGHLY recommend this machine.

Good , meets my expectations
