Record Cleaning and DIY Demo

[@cross75man75]

I tried your suction cup method and it work like a charm, it did a great job of cleaning even my oldest records and made them sound like new, so a big thank you for sharing you knowledge.

[@NadeemHayek]

What size is the suction cup?

[@cross75man75]

@@NadeemHayek They're exactly the same size in diameter as the LP label.

[@CarlosPerezChavez]

That suction cups idea is fantastic. Thank you!

[@PMajorTremblay]

Went through the same progression path as you did , when cleaning records, and within a few months stumbled on a gently used (maybe once) okki nokki from a person that was transferred abroad and needed to sell a lot of her belongings quick. picked it up for 350$ canadian. Have not looked back since and it was the best investment I made for my record collection. I do however like your DIY approach which I could see myself using for those record that never seem to get thoroughly clean even with the okki nokki! Great channel, keep up the great work Cheers from Montreal!

step one dump the background music .

[@morrisonAV]

At least turn it down to background level so it isn't competing with your voice

[@hughbetcha436]

AAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRGGH!!!

[@gblan]

Totally distracting and unnecessary

[@Camiliostation]

I like the middle age vibe yea

[@joebloggs8636]

You sound like a real well rounded guy........idiot.

[@clavichord327]

I use your technique with the combination of the suction cups and a pressurized rinse with distilled water and finally 3-4 revolutions on my record cleaning machine to vacuum the water off. My records turn out super clean. I think the pressurized rinse and vacuum removal are the key steps in this process. The pressure sprayer allows for customizable spraying settings. Thanks for your great video!

Great video. Tried it on a Hendrix record from the 60's and it worked great! Home Depot had all the equipment. Thank you!

[@curtbradley549]

I use similar wash method but use scrubbing bubbles and a paint edger which travels in the grooves better 4-5 passes and rinse followed by quick microfiber wipe and air dry few hrs works amazing I've done over 500 no problem .Cheers.

Thanks for doing this demo. Reinforced my apprehension of purchasing a spin-clean. a lot of money for a tub of solution, and like you, I rarely clean 20-30 at once. And I think this DIY solution could be raised a slight notch by the addition of fotoflo which may help penetrate the grooves to loosen deep particles. I have not researched it, but I believe that fotoflo simply keeps the solution from drying too quickly which may leave some particles locked into the grooves. Anyway, thanks for the great budget solution. I love vinyl but not sure I'll ever spend $500+ on a vacation system. I could buy lots of records for that price!

Great video demonstration! Thumbs up. Thank you.

[@Lfunk1983]

The suction cup cleaning method is really great, thanks man.

[@jandresnijman7064]

finally i see someone that also use the pressure pump bottle for rinse works very good for me too

[@ehexlee2993]

Great demo! Thanks for sharing.

[@lewtoncole]

I listened to one guy that said Spin Clean solution was the best out there. Throw away the machine and keep the solution. Then clean it like you do. So that's what I do now. Amen

[@marcosv1618]

This was good. Thanks.

[@joeyeewong9233]

Background music is really annoying

[@jpayton680]

Great video

[@LEDFOOT49]

Man I bought some of those and I had a bad experience it lost its suction and ruined one label. The idea is good as far as cleaning but I think I’ll spend a little more money and purchase a Groove Master label saver then wash them like you say. I can’t risk cleaning a great record and having a chance of loosing suction again. At least the original Groove Master label saver has thick gaskets and a secured locking nuts.

[@NadeemHayek]

What size is the suction cup?

[@gblan]

I do the same thing except I use a Groovewasher label protector.

[@eliaslugo9290]

first time seeing this need to get the handle holder for the vinyl

[@jcreswick]

Karcher window vac?

[@djsonvinylcollection]

Power bro

[@dwhisk11]

Dig the Sox shirt!

[@henry66699]

I think recordcleaning machines are way too expensive. They are technically nothing more than a vacuumcleaner that is bent in such a way that you can clean vinyl records with it. Its only so expensive because it is a niche-market. The Okki-Noki is the cheapest RCM the others are much too costly and don't offer much more than the Okki-Nokki. The other machines just add some extra possibillety on it and then turn up the price tag to a rediculous levell. Okki-Nokki is also expensive (again its nothing more than a vacuumcleaner) but its still the cheapest relatively of RCM's and does its job well.

8:21 story time is over

[@storungz]

I'm diggin the Celtic music! Watching you do the DIY scrubbing made me cringe... 😬 Alcohol is no bueno to use as it deteriorates plasticizers in the vinyl if not completely removed promptly, and thoroughly, ideally with a vacuum type apparatus. Further, for the avoidance of doubt, a second rinse with vacuum of just distilled water is ideal. Non-alcoholic solutions like Mint LP, Disc Doctor Miracle Cleaner, or TM-8 from Groovy Record Hi-Fi Solutions, Inc. are all much better / safer options.

[@henry66699]

Don't use alcohol cause it dry's out/disolves the plastics, ideal for other jobs but not for Vinyl cleaning. Then your music is great but too busy for the video its distracting/anoying, but your video is explaining everything in a clear way.

[@Vazhaspa]

Ignoring the annoying background music, very innovative from 8:27 on.

[@joebloggs4754]

oooooo$90.00 for spinclean.....wow,,we...

[@showstopperrob1097]

Blah, blah, Blah, Blah
