You can wash off mould. Don't put anything you like in a damp environment.

At least not for long periods of time.

I also use a VPI 16.5 but I wish I had a machined that cleans both sides simultaneously. Cleaning fluid is VPIs or L'Art du Son.

Being a student, which means I don't have that much money, record cleaning is done by a Knosti record cleaner...



cheap, fairly effective for what it is...
everything is done manual though...

before playing, I use an antistatic brush too...

Keep them spinning,
Bert.

"Gruv Glide". Sounds like a marital aid but is actually an aerosol product that the guys at AudioClassics recommended. It seems to work very well.

Have never used a Monks table, but I understand they awesome. A year ago I upgraded from a VPI 16.5 to a Loricraft PRC4 and haven't looked back. A good RCM is highly underrated. I just use isoplropyl with water and a couple drops of photoflo.

I think a dilute rubbing alcohol / distilled water cleaning followed by the gruv glide treatment works very well. It is bringing life back to my music.
