Pre-Mixed Wash it 2 Record Cleaning Fluid (100mL)

Vinyl records need dedicated maintenance. Even brand new records benefit from a thorough cleaning as the manufacturing process often leaves residue in the grooves. Dry-cleaning with a static-dissipating carbon fiber record brush is no doubt worthwhile for removing superficial dust, but a wet-cleaning process is a must if you intend to extract the most information possible from your vinyl LPs. Accordingly, a suitable cleaning fluid is paramount. Though fast to dry, alcohol-based cleaning fluids can be abrasive to the finer aspects of the grooves, especially over time. This is why we’ve designed our eco-friendly, alcohol-free record cleaning fluid we call Wash it 2. We dilute the concentrate for you so it’s ready for use, saving you an additional step in the process. It also prevents the accidental use of unsuitable water and/or an unsuitable ratio, reducing the margin of error in the cleaning equation. Simplifying things further still, the VC-S3’s vacuum is mighty, leaving your records spotless in just a rotation or two.

Our Flagship Vinyl Record Cleaner

We’ve removed the screw-down clamp from this design for the sake of efficiency. The magnetic clamp not only protects the record label from fluid damage, it also speeds up the whole cleaning process. Place your record over the spindle, drop the clamp in place (you’ll feel the magnetic attraction!) and you’re ready for the scrubbing & vacuuming steps. A soft goat hair bristle wet-cleaning record brush is supplied for the initial scrub. The robust, easy-to-use metal arm is mechanically stable and focuses all suction power directly onto the record surface. Paired with a self-adhesive, soft-brushing arm strip, your record grooves are cleaned to perfection leaving only the musical material to be heard. The internal reservoir (2.5L) collects the spent cleaning fluid. Wash it 2 readily evaporates in the reservoir too, meaning the container rarely needs emptying. If/when it does need emptying, a pouring spout is also provided (see user manual).

During playback, holding these carbon fiber brush bristles over your vinyl record does more than get rid of the build up. This vinyl record brush removes dust particles from LP records, 10-inch, and 7-inch records by creating an anti-static discharge. Static electricity attracts dust to your records meaning that your hi-fi system will pick up pops and crackles as you listen, but a carbon fiber record brush avails you of that issue.

Rather than having to run a microfiber cloth, velvet brush, or wet cleaning solution, this is a quick and easy way to clean records when you plan to listen. Even a typical vinyl record cleaner without an anti-static record brush will leave your records holding a little bit of a static charge.

​As you transport them from inner sleeves to your turntable, the stylus could still catch on some conductive material invisible to the naked eye. Even the most careful and dedicated vinyl collector contends with the enemy of household dust and fibers that float in the air and land on a record surface.

Pairing this cleaning brush with a stylus brush creates a more complete record cleaning kit. This record cleaning brush will leave your stylus cleaner and your record player sounding clearer over time.

Carbon fiber bristles are the ideal material for a cleaner brush. Accept no substitutes.

Pro-Ject USA’s own Jeff Coates says: I’m a big believer in a thorough wet cleaning before the first play and at least a quick brush for dust before every subsequent play. After a party or after a record’s been in heavy rotation, I’ll often do another wet cleaning on a vacuum cleaning system before putting it away.

With the advancement of screen display technology, it has become increasing important to use the correct solutions to clean the screens without damaging them or degrading their performance. From computer monitor displays and flat-screen TVs at home, to laptops, mobile phones and tablets on the go, it’s crucial to understand that these video screens and displays are very sensitive to damage not only from dirt and debris, but from inferior cleansers and cloths too.

AudioQuest’s CleanScreen offers a complete cleaning system that removes unwanted build-up on delicate glass surfaces without fear of scratching, smearing, or creating static electricity. Unlike improperly formulated cleaners that can permanently damage displays. CleanScreen’s educated blend of solvents cleans effectively and safely.

Full- and travel-size bottles of CleanScreen cleaning fluid include a microfiber cloth for each and a retractable brush that can be used as a pre-cleaner or as a daily dust cleaner. CleanScreen’s microfiber filaments are so fine that a single ounce of this material could be strung over 160 miles long. While extremely soft and safe for screens, the CleanScreen microfiber cloth’s “pineapple “ texture increases absorbency and reduces drying time.

While its predecessor has long been recognized as both an effective and cost-effective necessity for vinyl-playback—the completely redesigned and improved Anti-Static Record Brush is poised to become the essential maintenance tool for all generations of vinyl lovers.

AudioQuest eventually learned that the AQ Record Brush (and every other brand of carbon fiber brush), doesn’t have a good electrical path between the fibers and the handle, and that the print-protecting coating on the metal handle prevents a proper electrical connection to the user’s hand. The user is the “ground” for static electricity, so having a good electrical contact from fibers-to-hand is a big deal!

In creating AQ’s new Conductive Carbon Fiber Brush, AudioQuest created new tooling for every part of their new design. AQ’s reborn Brush has ideal conductivity from the Carbon Fibers, through the internal parts of the brush, to the conductive Gold Contacts placed right where your fingers need them.

They also reinvestigated what is possible with Carbon Fibers, finally choosing for their new Brush a far greater quantity of new smaller fibers in order to more effectively sweep away micro-dirt, not just the less relevant visible dust.
