GrooveWasher Walnut Record Cleaning Kit

Product Information

For collectors who have hundreds, if not thousands, of dirty records to clean and absolute purists, TergiKleen is a great vinyl record cleaning solution. We cleaned one of the dirtiest records with little elbow grease and the record was left in pristine condition. This combination of fluids is widely recommended as an efficient mixture to clean records using what are household materials. TWO-STEP CLEAN: With the extra cleaning power G3 Record Cleaning Fluid offers, a final rinse with distilled water or our special GSR Super Rise is necessary.

I took Steve up on his “clear glass challenge” and also tested the G2 spray on a brand new record to see if I could detect any signs of residue. Old records often come dirty, with years of old, oily fingerprints, dust, and other foreign debris (free of charge, naturally). Low alcohol with technical surfactants to dissolve sticky gunk from the stylus, so the SC1 Brush can remove it. The stylus can become clogged with oily pressing release compound from new records and residue from other record cleaning and preservative fluids.The GrooveWasher team developed their G2 cleaning fluid to evaporate quickly and avoid the secondary rinsing step, and I’m happy to report their claim holds up very well. G3 Two-Step Record Cleaning Fluid is formulated and made by GrooveWasher in North Kansas City, MO, USA. It's "wetter than water", with super low viscosity to break the surface tension and reach the bottom of the microgroove.

Yes, Groovewasher products are available in London, Birmingham, Liverpool, Sheffield, Bristol, Leicester, Edinburgh, Leeds, Cardiff, Manchester, England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and all major cities in UK. There’s certainly something to be said about dry cleaning with a brush or microfiber cloth and no solution.However, it was not great at removing some of the tougher spots of the exceptionally dirty record we used. Leftover residue from vinyl cleaning products is a common problem, the result of which causes significant noise for the first few playbacks while also risking stylus damage.
