FAQs Vinyl Brushes + Cleaners
What is the best brush to clean vinyl?
This will depend on what exactly you intend to do with the brush and what you hope to get out of it. Perhaps your records are more often afflicted by static due to the humidity of the climate in which you live, or, alternatively, it might be more of an issue with all the dust and dirt in the air. There are separate brushes for each purpose or all-in-one brushes if you are willing to compromise in this way.
What does a vinyl brush do?
A vinyl brush seeks to remove foreign contaminants from the surface of a record that can distort or otherwise change the proper function and play of a record. This is often to do with stray dust and dirt getting onto the record, in which case a record brush would be used to remove these foreign contaminants before and after a record has been played.
What is the best method to clean vinyl?
The most thorough method for cleaning vinyl is likely wet cleaning, though this should not be done too regularly or too thoroughly for it can easily lead to the wear of the record’s grooves. Instead, you should opt to wet clean only every so often, using record brushes in the interim to remove stray dirt, dust, and static that can accumulate through repeated plays.
What can I use instead of a vinyl brush?
There are plenty of other solutions to this problem, the most popular among likely being the record roller. This tool works in much the same way as a record brush, though instead of using brush follicles to do the job, it instead calls upon a roller brush. This is then rolled over the surface of the disc to achieve the purpose.
