Deep Cleaning Records on the New BIG G Mat from GrooveWasher

Replacing their original and very colorful splash towel, the BIG G Record Cleaning Mat is an improved landing surface for deep cleaning vinyl records.
Having used the original splash towel for some time, I was curious to see how the design might be improved.
Soft and thick two-ply cleaning mat to place your record for cleaning off the turntable. Cushions and protects the record.
It's a useful tool to have if you manually clean a lot of records, and since record cleaning machines are often very expensive, it's great news to see GrooveWasher continuing to develop new tools to help vinyl lovers clean their collections on a budget.

Love to see that custom T.Rex label! Hopefully Marc sounded even better after that cleaning.

[@soundmatters]

I grew up with T.Rex as a regular staple in our house. Love tracking down the original copies 🎶🎧

I have a spare turntable with the motor disconnected which i use to clean records with various cleaners. After applying cleaning fluid i turn the platter by hand while pressing down on the record with the cleaning pad. Much easier than trying to clean a stationary record.

[@soundmatters]

Great tip! Thanks

[@Bambooken]

I’m wondering if you are diluting crud and then rubbing it into the tracks? The mopping up should get a good amount of it but, this seems like a sub-par method (IMHO). I’d like to see the groves under magnification.

I just bought the mondo using the link and discount code. Thanks

[@soundmatters]

Nice! You'll love the kit, which of course now comes with the Big G pad

[@papoosee]

@@soundmatters Curious how you manage the microfiber pad as it gets wetter and dirtier? How many records do you usually clean in one sitting before you need to use a new microfiber pad?

[@soundmatters]

@@papoosee If the pad becomes saturated, then it won't work as well. This is because the fluid is supposed to hold the unwanted dust in suspension and you remove it using the pad. It's difficult to give an exact number of records before this happens. You'll get the most from the pad if you rotate it as per GrooveWasher's instructions. Essentially, one side for applying and rotating to the "dry" side. It's worth having a spare pad if you're cleaning more than say 5 records. You should also clean the pad regularly using distilled water and a small amount of dish soap. For large batches of records, it's worth having a record cleaning machine.

It must cost as much if not more as a manual record cleaning machine such as the Knosti at £50 doing it this way. Does it clean better do you think?

[@PedroMiguel-if3ll]

And then when doing the other side of the record, you get all dirt from the matt on the side you already cleaned?

I found a lot of my old 45's in my Mom's basement and unfortunately some are warped but greater part made it. I'm about to use G3 and rinse for the first time. Will follow up. Was hoping to see how to use the small Grove brush that comes in the kit. Do you have that in any of your videos?

[@mjallenuk]

It's a little labour intensive but it's certainly an improvement.

[@luissegoviaiii3918]

Where do you get the label protector ?

[@soundmatters]

It comes with GrooveWasher kits 👍🎶

About time manual cleaning was taken seriously.. U can't top hand washing clothes etc.. Home cooked food etc
