SpinClean procedure

for $75, you get the trough, small bottle of fluid concentrate, some diaper cloth rags and one pair of velvet brushes. for $130 you get all that plus a quart of concentrate, TWO pairs of brushes. you'll need the quart of fluid sooner than later so just go for the $130.

a trip to harbor freight for a couple of packs of microfiber cloths and to a walmart or equivalent for a wooden dish rack or similar to dry the records after the washing. follow their directions for washing. use the supplied rags only as a pad to then cover with one mf cloth so you can lat the disc down and lightly wipe the bulk of the fluid (mixed with either distilled or as i do--reverse osmosis water) so you don't leave enough to leave a residue.

then the LPs go onto the rack (i use 6" lucite photo easels that i get at walmart--at least 5, i have ten) for the drying at about 20 min or so.

tip--with a qtip, apply a small dab of vaseline, smearing it carfully on the axles of the rollers to reduce the friction and wear that otherwise would happen sooner than later.

i dominate the kitchen sink area while doing this and if a record is very dusty, i rinse the disc off with the faucet (no need for distilled but if your osmosis spigot is on the sink, you CAN use it if you must).

soon you will develop a routine that works for you.
