You are the Bob Ross of Vinyl collecting. You are a wonderful human being and anyone who doesn't think so can go scratch.

[@krishnaniyapillai476]

Too much talking n going here n there picking up things not getting straight to the fact beating round the bush. Why not you jst mention on the subject mentioned tht you are tell us wht you are going to do. Too tired jst listening to your nagging. jst get your point n don't tell stories. Say what you are suppose to demonstrate on cleaning vinyl records b'cos I'm keen to see your method of cleaning. Wasting time long listening but more talk n less action. You talk picking this one n that one n in the end you end up with something else. Oh pls do a proper video n stick to the matter n finish it short n sharp! Tq!!!

As an army veteran (Bosnia 1996 and 1998) i suffer from PTSD. Getting a sleep is getting hard some days. You sir, yo and your video's bring me to a certain stage of inner rest and put me to sleep. Thank you so much for that!

[@KickAssShark]

You precious man. Your videos helped me through many nights over past few years when my insomnia just would not let go , your calming voice and wholesome personality knock me out in minutes. Feels Like kicking back with an old friend and getting a good lesson on how to take care of my records. I thank you Topper from the bottom of my heart. Truly.

Your original cleaning video was a major asmr hit :) Some people simply turn off the comments for videos, which helps to prevent trolling.

This Simply made my day. You sir are a proper gentleman and a genuinely decent human being....a seemingly rare find in today's world. I hope you all peace and happiness. Keep doing what you are doing, you make a lot of people's lives a little brighter, and that is a very fine thing indeed.

[@llJiggyFlyll]

when i first got into vinyl records I screwed up and spent like 15$ just on a fiber glass brush. so i love how you mention so many cheap alternatives showing people they don't need to go crazy with the spending for their hobby.

[@TheOmahaIntrovert]

Love your cleaning method videos, Topper ! Thanks for doing another one. Really helps to have one of those swivel plate things! Appreciate you sharing your new method. Peace, my friend.

[@elliottforan1386]

Hooray hooray! Thank you for this updated video, I really enjoyed watching it! 👁♥️👁️

[@barryfleischer6553]

I really enjoy your videos. They make you feel as if we're just hanging out. I tried the Mr. Clean sponge for my stylus and it works perfectly!! My budget is quite limited so your Dollar Tree ideas really help me out. My turntable is a Scott from 1988, Other than replacing a few wires, Its still spinning my Jazz records all these years. There nothing better than a record, that crackle means great music is about to begin.

[@KaterinaDeAnnika]

This is another awesome video. I found you with that original cleaning video and am sad it's gone. But I definitely appreciate the new one! Watching your videos this morning set me up for a good first day at a new job. Thank you!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@ronnie5129]

Thanks for this video, an inexpensive and efficient way of cleaning records, thanks,

[@crazyprayingmantis5596]

I do the same minus the cake stand and vac. I just dry mine with 2 different microfibre towels. One for the first part and one for the rinse with distilled water. Leave to air dry under a fan on low. I use a magic eraser to clean my stylus too. Some people spend way too much and are way too fussy about cleaning records imo. These methods are absolutely fine, but sometimes you get some deep stuck on crud that can't be seen by eye baked into the grooves and these require an ultrasonic clean, but for 98% of dirty records this method is enough. Thanks Topper Cool video

[@michiganrecordclub4484]

Awesome new record cleaning video Topper! Good job. Bill

[@vampraver]

Love love love this...you are the Bob Ross of vinyl album cleaning. Going to hit the thrift store to get my stuff to clean mine.

[@charlesdegaulle7558]

Got scared when I saw the original was gone because I still need to clean off some dirty secondhand records I got and saw this. Thanks buddy!

[@Gtrtech]

I use the same mini shop vac method with a wand I made out of one of the attachments and the fiber cloth from a discwasher brush. Mix my own cleaning solution as well. Works great...

[@glyph2011]

What a great update! Love your channel. It’s a brilliant way of seeing long forgotten album artwork and artists. I’ve discovered new music thanks to you. :-) Thank you. :-)

[@goldenvinylspin]

I really enjoyed watching this video. We are alot alike. I agree with everything you shared. I'm always looking for different things I can use to clean. I have used LCD screen cleaner many times but never made a video on it because I was worried I get some trolls commenting. I recieved the vinyl vac last week and I'm looking forward to giving a review.

[@swimaugustine]

Great video topper I use a combination of your original cleaning method then finish my Record off with LCD cleaner from the Dollar Tree! Works like a gem😀

[@fenrislegacy]

The cleaning TT is a great idea! Providence made it so that I re-watched Topper's video not long after binning a not-worth-fixing Technics SL-B200 with a noisy motor and a dead tonearm. I dug it out, removed the tonearm and installed an On/Off switch. It's perfect for what it needs to perform.

[@TheRollingStoness]

[@georgeperigoa9585]

Thank you very much Topper! This is a professional and affordable solution for cleaning records. Other sewer operators usually use very expensive record cleaning equipment. This is not an option for me. I also don't think it's good that the record companies have banned them from playing the records. How else do you want to prove that your cleaning concept works, if you are forbidden to play a song for at least 30 seconds? Every record cleaning Video has this problem. How nice could you do an Album presentation if you were allowed to play at least 30 seconds of a song? Then younger music fans would also get an impression of a good old Song. That also would be a very good advertising, especially for older artists who otherwise run the risk of being forgotten by the world. Nobody can advertise an Album as convincingly as a fan. But unfortunately the record companies don't want to understand that. I wish you all the best. Love and Peace! George ❤✌

[@tableseven8133]

Thanks OddBoxTopper. Your original version was very inspiring to me. However that was many years ago. I bough the items and used them maybe once or twice and put them aside. Over the past few weeks I'm back at this. I did what I recalled and it worked well, just the distilled water and some jet dry, spray it on, then the edger paint tool, mine has the pivot part, around and some back and forth, clean the edger under running water and then rinse it off record under running water. Wipe off with clean microfiber cloth, and then let air dry setting on it's edges. A few hours later play it. It looks very clean and plays fine, as fine as a used old record will. Still has the crackly and any scratches are still there, but no longer that gritty sound from a dirty record.

[@stephenmahlstedt8533]

Excellent video, man. Thanks for making it. I’ve been struggling to find an effective method that doesn’t involve a $600 device. So, I just ordered a low-profile cake stand turntable, a 1.75 HP shop vac and the Vinyl Vac 33 along with their concentrated solution. I recently learned how to better store my records by putting 3 mil outer sleeves and swapping out all my paper inner sleeves for MoFi archive sleeves. Now it’s time to up my cleaning game. Cheers!!! I need to try that Clamato/beer cocktail as well :)

Great to see another cleaning video Topper, thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping those of us with a love of vinyl to get the best sound from our second hand record purchases. Personally, the first video I saw, the one where you start by apologising for the noise of the heater on what was obviously a old night, to be your finest. What a shame in this technological age, a video put on the Internet with the attention of helping others is subject to personal abuse from these so called trolls. Any criticism, whether constructive or down right abusive hurts, we are all human so I can well understand why you took them down. I certainly appreciate and enjoy all your videos and I'm obviously not alone looking at the figures off all those who subscribe to your channel. Rock on Topper!

[@solarfox024]

That dishwashers with even destilled water only, will remove every dust ON record, not single one will stay, even static is gone. But that can not remove old dust stuck in grove. I recommend using that metod before and even after play, so if you are very careful, your record will have no dust at all.

[@RichardMNixon-zh6uz]

Been using your al-kee-haul-water-painting-square method for about six months now. Works fantastic. Chucked the Jet-Dry, though. It was accumulating on the needle about two or three songs in. I just put the albums in a dish-rack for an overnight and they're good to go. Much appreciated, Oddbox.

[@blaster1093]
