The cleaning solution, combined with distilled water, bathes the records (LPs, 78s, or 45s) as you turn them 3 rotations clockwise followed by 3 rotations counterclockwise and the solution "binds" to the dirt and sends it to the bottom of the basin

It does not wet the labels (when used as directed)There is something about the normal design of LPs that directs the cleaning solution away from and around the run out deadwax

Very good solution for record cleaning on a budget

Fill with water to the line and add a few capfuls of the cleaning solution

The rollers would tend to rise out of their mounts during disc rotation if I rushed and the roller axles tend to have friction wear, shedding some black plastic particles into the cleaning solution.

The labels on the albums stayed out of the cleaning solution and were not damaged at all

Contrary to the manufacturer's claim, I could never get 50 records cleaned in one batch of water and 3 capfuls of cleaning solution

Clearly some of the money spent on the starter kit is on the lint free cloths, solution and brushes

There is a review claiming that the cleaning solution leaves "invisible" residue which accumulates on the stylus.

I'd say that for a non-production cleaning process, this is a good solution.

I looked at several other less expensive solutions (even started with distilled water and soft clothes) and found this system to incorporate the best of both worlds.

Spin clean solution doesn't work very well

For dirty/used albums, wipe first with a good brush (original discwasher, or new Mobile Fidelity Brush) and solution

After 2 full bins worth of distilled water + cleaning solution, I have PLENTY of solution leftover

It worked really well as step 3 i.e. taking the album from SpinClean and putting it on the Record Doctor V to suck all the dirty wet solution off

It is recommended that you clean around 20 records at a time otherwise you will be wasting the cleaning solution

Now I will have to start over with over FOUR HUNDRED discs, re-scrub with the Spin-Clean to try to dislodge the junk the Spin-Clean solution previously left on the discs, then do the SEPARATE rinse

I had tried all of the homemade techniques: microfiber cloths, brushes, homemade cleaning solutions

So, for a total of less than 3 bills, I have a fantastic system that scrubs my albums clean and then sucks the wet solution off leaving me a dry pristine album

I also appreciate that the Spin Clean hits both sides of the record at once unlike platter based vacuum cleaning solutions

I kept dumping out the dirty water (simple solution for my needs.)Audio Advisor

I clean 20 discs at a time, I have have done 40 at a time but you will need to change the water / cleaning solution after 20 or so discs because it gets very dirty

I really like how the the water/cleaning solution doesnt get on the label at all, it just follows the grooves right around the label.

(Dunking them in cleaning solution makes so much more sense)

While I was not particularly keen to pay $71.00 for this product, it was a wonderful alternative to cheaper "solutions" such as RCA's Discwasher D4+ (which has Isopropyl Alcohol in it which, when mixed with the chemicals that comprise Vinyl will dry it out and make it crack/brittle) or the "Entry-Level" VPI cleaners that start at $300.I have tried dealing with an assortment of dry clean solutions (think anti-static brushes, etc

I found out that doing a rinse (water only) clean after using the cleaning solution made a lot of sense to me

The cleaning solution has a poorly designed cap, had some spilled upon delivery

and I've used about 1/4 of the supplied 4oz. cleaning solution.

So then I built a separate rinse bucket to completely rinse off the Spin-Clean solution, instead of the current system of leaving the dirty solution to drip-dry and then smear with the provided cloths

The cleaning solution works great too

The only problem I would note is that sometimes greasy buildup (probably from oil on fingers) doesn't come out without repeated cleanings, or applying a stronger solution prior to cleaning.

then I would recommend buying the next model up that has more towels and cleaning solution

There are much better solutions on the market, I am sure

It's well worth the price seeing other cleaning solutions cost so much more

However, it really is not an adequate solution for a serious collector

So I began looking for an affordable solution to the drying situation

Or do some research and find a recipe for a safe cleaning solution that doesn't leave any residue

Love the simple solution to cleaning many vinyl records in less time.

Sometimes I need to change the water with the cleaning solution after only 5 or 10 records because it gets gray and you can't see the bottom of the unit!After cleaning, I lay the record on a microfiber towel and use another one to wipe the record dry, going along the grooves in a clockwise direction, flip it over and do the same on the other side, then stand it in a plastic dish drainer to finish air drying.

Hello - how can the same tap water give me noiseless discs washed in my sink but noisy discs with the Spin-Clean solution

I use roughly 50% more of the cleaning solution than they recommend

I ignored this as they didn't describe how they arrived at this conclusion, or how it was directly the result of the cleaning solution

I went to Walmart and bought a pack of 15 microfiber towels for $10.After I ran out of the included cleaning solution, I went with a friends advice and used a cleaning solution consisting of distilled water and GlassPlus Window cleaner

I realized that the solution in SpinClean got dirty pretty quickly and drying the vinyl removed some of that but not all of it from the record

I was concerned with the small size of the bottle of cleaning solution, but it only took 2 capfuls (about 3/4 oz from the 4 or 5 oz bottle) to clean 25 records, so I will probably reorder more fluid.

The only problem is that its efficiency also depends on cleaning at least 10-20 records at a time as you are advised not to keep the cleaning solution for more than a day after use.

A good solution is to buy 3 of those 99 cent crevice tools and cut the Velvet strips to length

This simple device and included cleaning solution does a superb job cleaning LP's.

But the cleaning solution included with the Disco Antistat also leaves residue, so you have to just use plain distilled water, or find a good recipe for a safe record cleaning solution

Since I don't have a suitable drying rack or similar, my solution has been to simply lean the records against different things, while making sure that whatever they're leaning against isn't touching the records more than absolutely

It is recommended that you clean around 20 records at a time otherwise you will be wasting the cleaning solution

You can tell it does the job by the dirty solution.

This cleaner cleans records very well, comes with a nice amount of cleaning solution, and does all that for a fair price.

so I can't see the discoloration of the distilled water/cleaning solution.

You will have to turn the record in the cleaning container and solution by yourself

If you're going to use the Spin Clean, avoid the included Spin Clean solution and just use plain distilled water

If this concerns you (the residue), don't use the solution with the unit, or rinse thoroughly after cleaning

bottle of their cleaning solution and two cheap cloths that feel like medical gauze

And don't forget to rinse the brushes well when you are done or change the cleaning solution.

So many albums, so little cleaning solution.

Despite how smoothly I attempt to rotate the record, the brushes often end up rubbing ACROSS the grooves rather than along them (where the "gunk" is buried).I really don't mind spending money (I was going to buy another to keep at work and extra drying cloths), but because of these particular defects, $80 this seems like an overly-expensive solution

If you compare the Spin Clean to record cleaning machines, it is by far the cheapest solution.

The cleaning solution was filthy after several albums being cleaned

Distilled water ONLY in the bath, I only use the Spin Clean solution as directed

Plus the device is really easy use and you can clean something like 20 vinyls per cap of cleaning solution

time consuming cleaning a batch of albums at once to make use of the cleaning solution

Keep your tank and cleaning solution clean and clear.

I recommend buying extra cleaning cloths and cleaning solution when you purchase it.

The rollers keep the record in place and allow you to spin the record through the cleaning solution

One may want to use an anti-static solution and anti-static brush when the record is cleaned and dried.

I purchased the 40th Anniversary Edition a while back, direct from the manufacturer and I am stunned every time I change the cleaning solution.

Overall I'd still recommend the kit for a beginner looking to get dust off some old records but this is not the perfect solution.

There was a little bit of gunk at the bottom when I was finished cleaning ~ 100 records (I washed about 50 and changed out the water with fresh distilled water and cleaning solution).The "microfiber" towels that come with the spin-clean are TERRIBLE

I like the fact that I can use distilled water and just a couple of drops of the enclosed cleaner solution.

The dishwater I made fun of is actually Spin Clean’s fluid that you mix with distilled water.

Spin Clean’s instructions say to turn the record three revolutions in each direction.

As the description says, you can clean up to 50 LP’s on one tank, and it can sit for up to a week

The Spin Clean will not undo damage, but with records that l own, some over 50 years old, filth can sound like damage, and filth CAN be undone.
