  • AT6012 Record Care Kit – Not the greatest I've ever used, but quite far from the worst!
Style: AT6012 Record Care Kit
This is a review of the AT6012 Record Care Kit, and some instructions on how to use properly use the brush. I received mine yesterday, and so far I have used it on 4 problematic records; three I owned prior to owning a turntable with a dust cover, all victims of clumsiness at one point or another, and one brand new vinyl. The three older records showed a few fingerprints and smudges that were probably made while putting them back in their sleeves, and the new one had small bits of paper all over it from a split seam in the bottom of the inner sleeve. First, the directions on the packaging indicate that you should measure 4 ml. of the cleaning solution — perhaps with a syringe, but this is not included — and distribute it evenly into the two fill ports on top of the brush (cleverly named the "Sonic Broom"). For one, 4 ml of liquid is far too much for a task like this. The packaging claims that the liquid will be channeled from the fill ports and into the fabric only at the leading edge of the brush, but the entire pad is going to end up soaked if you dump 4 milliliters of anything into it. I know this because I actually did measure out 4 ml. of the cleaning solution in a syringe and put 2 ml. into each fill port; so much of the cleaning solution ended up on the record that I had to go over it again with a separate dry cleaning pad just to soak it all up. Unlike other larger cleaning brushes I've owned, there is a minimal amount of "padding" underneath of the outer cleaning cloth on this brush, so the solution isn't going to be soaked into the body of the brush; the plastic handle makes up the bulk of the brush. -------- HOW TO CLEAN YOUR RECORDS with this product: Ideally, the edge of the brush which will first come into contact with your records should be damp, but not completely saturated. The best way to accomplish this is to completely ignore the filling ports on the top and use the tip of the solution bottle to dampen a 1/8"–1/4" wide strip on the leading edge of the brush (indicated by an arrow on the side). You want the majority of the brush pad to remain as dry as possible. Start by making contact with the record using only the damp edge of the brush. If you're cleaning the record while it's on your turntable, be sure to place the record on top of a clean slip mat; you don't want to flip the record to clean the other side and end up with dust and dirt from the slip mat in the grooves of the side you've just cleaned! The packaging states to rotate the record underneath the brush so that it is turning in the direction the arrow on the side/bottom of the brush is pointing. This is opposite of the direction that my previous cleaning brushes have suggested, but it is nevertheless important to make sure you always rotate your records in the direction instructed by the packaging and make sure the brush is always oriented the same way. In theory, this will prevent dirt and dust that has accumulated on the brush pad from becoming dislodged and finding its way into the grooves of the record you're trying to clean. With the damp edge of the cleaning pad in contact with the record, apply light pressure — just enough that the bristles of the fabric can get into the grooves of your record, but not so much pressure that it is difficult to spin the vinyl — and rotate the record BY HAND two or three times. Do not attempt to use your turntable's motor to spin the disc under the brush, because this creates unnecessary stress on the motor and could cause problems down the line. Try to keep the edge of the brush perfectly straight between the center hole of the record and the outer edge. Keep rotating the vinyl, but slowly rock the cleaning pad away from the damp leading edge so that the dry area comes into contact with the record. This should soak up any of the cleaning solution on the record and grab any of the dust or dirt suspended in it. Do this until the record appears as dry as possible, then leave it alone for a few minutes to allow any remaining solution to evaporate. Once the brush has dried, use the rough strip of fabric on the edge of the "storage base" to comb any dust or dirt out of the brush. ...and of course, get a can of air duster to blow out the inner sleeves that you store the records in. Again, this is all pointless if your freshly cleaned vinyl goes back into a sleeve full of dust. -------- For those curious, the bottle states that the cleaning solution is composed of a "catatonic surfectant," an "organic solvent," isopropyl alcohol, and distilled water. No further details are given about the chemicals used or the percentages of each ingredient in the overall solution. ...but how well does it work? My initial impressions are that it works more than well enough for lightly dusty or fingerprinted records. It's important to temper your expectations with this product, though. It's not going to remove every single speck of dirt — especially from very old or heavily used records — but for vinyl that has been treated respectfully and stored properly, this should do a fine job of removing the occasional fingerprint or small bits of dust. One last thing: It's hard to know how much of the cleaning solution gets "left behind" after the cleaning process, but if you're using this to clean and play a large number of records on a stylus you care about, you might also want to invest in a stylus cleaning product. ... show more

  • About as good a brush as is available today.
I had been looking for a decent way to easily clean records for a while. The discwasher trough method didn't excite me at all, and was pricey. I actually found one of the old brushes with the oriented fibers in an antique shop, but it was part of a console stereo deal, so I could not buy it separately. Enter this unit. I did not have super high hopes for any modern day brush, but I just cleaned about 70 platters and I could not be happier. Yes, the instructions are horrible, but this is not that difficult. First, you squirt the solution into the two top holes of the brush. Not drops, but actually squirt some in so the pad can get saturated. 1. I found that the little holes in the top work so you can squirt the solution in from the top, but it takes a bit of time for the brush to become really wet enough to clean. The first few minutes will not have the entire brush damp. Wait...The dirt needs the dampness to help stick to the brush, not just push it around the platter, doing more damage. 2. There is a direction arrow on the side of the brush, that is the direction you want it to flow across the record. It is just about wide enough to cover all the grooves in one pass. If you have the platter on a moving turntable, make sure the brush is aimed correctly, into the vinyl as it comes to the brush. In other words, make sure the brush is advancing across the circumference of the record using the arrow as a directional guide. 3. You will find, upon inspection of the brush, that there is a lot of finer dust in the fibers after one or two platters than you might think. This really digs out the dirt. That little blue plastic strip on the holder? That is for scraping off the dust out of the brush. Use it often, not harshly, and you will see the dirt ball up and it then can be removed. This is mandatory, or you will just eventually redeposit the dirt on a different platter! 4. The "magic solution" is nothing more than distilled water and 70% alcohol. After using up the little bottle, buy a small alcohol bottle and a gallon of distilled water, both about $1 each. Enough mix for a lifetime. 5. I went one step further. After cleaning the platter, I found microfiber kitchen towels that were a bit tacky, but not too tacky so it drags on the platter. White ones found at Wa&^%%t. Not in the auto section, where the really tacky ones are kept, but in the kitchen towel area. After cleaning, I lightly rotated the towel around the disc to pull off the excess water. A little back and forth fanning of the platter afterwards holding the edges quickly dried it and I could put it back into the sleeve. One tip: Your old sleeves may contain more debris inside the envelope than you might think. I aggressively took my sleeves and opened them downward, and shook them so some of it at least, came out. Sometimes nothing, sometimes a cloud of dust came out. Sometimes they were so bad I replaced them with new sleeves bought on Amazon. And make sure you have a sleeve inside your album cover. Cardboard is not nice to delicate vinyl grooves. I also started putting plastic outer covers on my albums to keep the covers nice and further help dust from invading. It also makes the record package look very cool. The results to me were rather dramatic. Not only did the music seem brighter, unfortunately also did the permanent scratches on the record. Most of my records were bought used, so others put scuffs and scratches in them. Obviously the brush does not help this matter, but does make the needle ride in the bottom of the groove cleanly and make music, not be busy digging out dirt and try to make music at the same time. But scratches are scratches, so you will hear them cleanly also...Luckily for me there is something nostalgic about a few scratches in a record. I don't mind it at all, and there is just no duplicating the original analog sound that vinyl produces. Your favorite old artist, be it Nat King Cole or Jerry Lee Lewis, vinyl is the best. One of my favorites in my collection is an original Sun recording of Jerry Lee Lewis, doing all his hits. Scratchy, scuffed, and the sound was heavenly after cleaning with this brush! Overall, this is a great brush and I would buy it again. Once you get used to using it, it takes more time to handle the platters and move things around than it does to clean any one side. Beats the pants off the silly wood glue method. ... show more

  • It cleans and removes static
Style: AT6011a Record Brush
Somehow I lost my last one, so I purchased this one again. I used my previous one for years. Its a good little brush to have. It won't clean of anything caked on, but if you want dust and a bit of dirt cleaned off, it'll do the job. Make sure you read the instructions. I never knew until I read the instructions on the second one, that if you want it to clear the static properly, you touch the brush to the center spindle to ground it out. Wish I would have known that years ago. Started doing it, and it removes the static. Its a great little brush, and I would recommend it. ... show more
