GrooveWasher Walnut Record Cleaning Kit

Product Information

Old records often come dirty, with years of old, oily fingerprints, dust, and other foreign debris (free of charge, naturally). An additional microfiber white cloth allowed us to clean a record without needing any additional materials. G2 Fluid is designed for maximum cleaning effectiveness of the delicate vinyl surface and microgroove, without the need for rinsing. In addition to highly purified water, SPT contains only very small amounts of organic chemical cleaning agents.

If we do an experiment on cleaning solutions to use with a cleaning machine, we’ll test this one again. With over 100 million products and brands from the international market, we provide a diverse range of options to cater to every requirement. Being UK-based, I’ve tried plenty of the manual cleaning options available this side of the pond (namely, Clear Groove and Vinyl Revival), but until now, I’ve been unable to test any US equivalents directly. As the samples demonstrate, GrooveWashers’ claim to producing a highly effective, residue-free, single-step cleaning process is well-founded.

Since this method requires diluting the Tergitol, the amounts I came across were enough to last most collectors a lifetime. This water is laboratory grade, carbon filtered, double deionized and UV light treated to ensure every spray is clean and anti-static on contact.

Replaceable Black Terry Microfiber Cleaning Pad, with velcro on the plexiglass base to secure the pad to the handle.The results very impressive; I’ve cleaned brand new records with other cleaners before and actually made the record worst. You have to remember, some of these records are decades old, who knows what might be lurking in the grooves after years of potential use and abuse.

As far as solutions go, there is nothing simpler or cheaper than turning on the faucet and giving your records a rinse.

We put a few of the most common ones to the test to see if their claims of providing superior cleaning ring true. Low alcohol with technical surfactants to dissolve sticky gunk from the stylus, so the SC1 Brush can remove it.

Working together, the G2 Fluid and cleaning pad removes mold, fingerprint oils, release compounds and coatings/films left in the groove from other products.There are numerous companies that offer vinyl record cleaning solutions that are both easy to use and relatively affordable. This combination of fluids is widely recommended as an efficient mixture to clean records using what are household materials. After all, the internet is brimming with countless suggestions and methods — many of which are dubious at best. The GrooveWasher walnut handle is milled from a single solid piece of midwest premium American Black Walnut, hand finished by our wood artisans with waterproof oil polyurethane in our plant in Kansas City, Missouri, USA.
