9/14 is Record Cleaning Day!

I own a Degritter but honestly I have no desire to share it with strangers just because they're into vinyl. This may sound selfish but it's a rather expensive machine and the more records cleaned, the shorter the life. What I think would be a much better idea would be for record stores to offer free ultrasonic cleaning. At least they might benefit by bringing customers into the shop. As for me, there are countless things I'd rather do than clean other people's records. It's enough of a hassle to clean my own.

And by the way, Eflatminor, are you bringing your ultrasonic?

Might even bring the Kirmuss and if things are slow and someone is budget minded, I thought it might be cool to demonstrate a Spin Clean or better yet, a Disc Doctor manual process.

Not entirely altruistic! One reason I'm doing this is to promote the wife's YouTube channel, all about cleaning records. I clean 'em but she does all the hard work. I put a link below to our latest regular episode you can get an idea of what we're doing.
