GrooveWasher Record & Stylus Care System – Record Cleaning Fluid & Large Scratch-Free Cleaning Pad with Delicate Stylus Brush & Cleaning Solution + Bonus Label Mask, Protect & Preserve Vinyl Records

Product Information

An all-in-one ultrasonic vinyl cleaning machine that automatically cleans and dries your record in just 7 to 15 minutes. It is compact, lightweight, quiet and compatible with 100v-240v. In the HumminGuru, HappyWell (the company behind the product) has succeeded in making ultrasonic record cleaning easier and more accessible. For that, they should be applauded, and we can’t wait to see how they develop the product from here.

It’s nice to see GrooveWasher’s continued commitment to developing new tools that complement their cleaning fluids and we can’t wait to test the new G-Sonic ultrasonic cleaning surfactant (watch this space). All-in-all, this new design is a welcome addition to my record cleaning arsenal, as it makes sense to me that fine fibers can aid the process in a way regular microfiber clothes just can’t. It’s a nice idea, but in practice, the products I’ve tried in this category leave residue on the record surface and can even increase surface noise. It’s made of very fine split-fiber microfiber for a very soft suede feel. It’s recommended as a pad for light cleaning before spinning your record.Aside from the core record cleaning fluid, their complete record cleaning kit—featuring a cleaning pad with a solid walnut handle—makes light work of cleaning vinyl records by hand. Some vinyl cleaning fluids on the market are plain distilled water with limited cleaning action. Others have a high level of alcohol which can harm vinyl records. Some leave a layer in the microgroove that reduces sound fidelity.

If this continues, clean the record side again because it isn't truly clean yet. Please keep in mind that the accumulation of grime on the stylus is not G2 Fluid. It is the grime in the groove that G2 Fluid has loosened but is difficult for the microfiber pad to remove. Both of the new pads are a welcome addition to my record cleaning arsenal. Admittedly, if you don’t own more than one GrooveWasher walnut handle, then swapping from one pad to the other isn’t quite as convenient, but you can always add more handles as and when you can afford.When buying a record cleaner for the first time, we recommend buying a small quantity before committing to it across your entire collection. One 32 ounce bottle of G2 Fluid with spout top. Use to refill the 2 ounce or 4 oz mist spray bottles.
