This is how you do videos, no-nonsense with just good advice
Thanks very much! We really appreciate it.
Right on instructions. Watched some of the other videos here on RUclips on this product. You have the most informative. Short and to the point!
Great demo. Didactical skills are great. Thanks for showing how to work with the Spin Clean.
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for the demo. I was wondering how this worked. :)
Happy to help!
Add an important step in the process. Fill a spray bottle with distilled water and spray the album after spinning and before wiping in a clockwise direction. Tap water can be contributing to a buildup of salts that will cause noise. I thoroughly dry my albums on a upright rack before returning the album into a clean sleeve to reduce the chance of mold. Yes that adds time but also peace of mind for me.
Good idea, yes, tap water should not be used in the process anywhere. Thanks for watching
@@AudioAdvice very good demonstration of the product though one or two things I mentioned should be included in another demonstration later.
Vinyl noob here, I'm missing how this step helps. If distilled water is used to fill the cleaner reservoir then what does spraying distilled water on the album do after cleaning? Unless it's just to try and remove any potential residuals from the cleaning solution? I could see wanting to spray the brushes afterwards with distilled water though.
@@0x80O0oOverfl0w you are correct, removal of excess residue following the rotations in the solution is a good idea. I noticed a slight haze on a few albums because my domestic water supply is very “hard”and I added this step of spraying the surface again with the distilled water then wiping that off with the white gauze fabric. When completing your session I spray and soak the brushes as well then air dry before I put the stuff away. Yes, very tedious, but the results are worth it. If I had the money, I’d get a second Spin Clean reservoir with just distilled water to do the final rinse. I just like the job to be as complete as possible. You may find that some albums are so needy that you’ll do a second cleaning anyway. Yes, there is something wrong with me!
Thanks for nice demo.
Great demo. Concise, and cuts to the chase. Thanks!
Great RUclips video that! 👏 just what I needed
The Spinclean manual does say you should only dry it off using a clockwise motion, otherwise this video is spot on
Clockwise or counter clockwise it doesn‘t matter.
As long as you are doing it in a circular motion.
Did you mean "no detergent", or just not a harsh one?
good demo thanks
+Michael Paul you're welcome!
20 to 50 cleanings is a lot for 1 tank. I would cut that quantity in half. Also, I wouldn't leave that solution in for a week. Personally, I don't even leave it in overnight. The rollers will start to get uncooperative and begin rotating out of the slots as you spin the record. I'm kinda surprised that Spin Clean hasn't expanded the slots into an "L" shape to address this issue. Another piece of advise would be to clean the least dirty vinyl first so the solution isn't filthy after the first couple of records. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the tips. This is an older video of ours so it may be a little outdated but we appreciate the feedback! Cheers!
@@AudioAdvice It's a good, concise video regardless. Thanks for the reply.
Watching this now in December 2021 i've recently purchased one of these , it's rather overpriced for what you get at time of
writing in the UK £79 , more like £40 worth in my opinion BUT ! it works really well , cleaned all my collection some of whch
had been in storage over three winter months and had suffered for it.
You can clearly see the dirt settle to the bottom of the trough after in my case around 20 records cleaned in one session.
The records i have played since washing have definietly improved , no surface noise silence between tracks just the occasional
tick or pop, which frankly are not going to go away in any case with this type of cleaner as far as i'm aware.
You need to set some time aside if you intend cleaning 20 plus at one session as it's a bit laborious, best to get all you need
layed out where you want it so can make a production line out of it if you will.
Overall very good job done if you follow the instructions as Audio Advice have stated , and i agree with a comment here from
Chris Huff ....
Dry it off using a clockwise motion
Thanks for sharing, yes it is a bit of a pain, but it does a great job. We have another video on wet cleaners coming out soon. We had a record that clearly had some kind of residue all over it. The Spin Clean took it right off!
@@AudioAdvice Hi that's great to hear i look forward to future postings , i am now subscribed :)
Hybrid I would like to ask how your albums suffered over three months of storage. The reason I ask is because I have about 3000 albums I have stored for about 20 years with my wine under the stairs in the basement. The wine faired well. What could happen to the albums? I recently moved there is no mold on any album covers. Thank you in advance for your response should you so choose to respond.
@@MrBb716 Barney, in our experience, if you stored them properly so there was not a lot of downward weight on them and no moisture, you should be fine.
@@MrBb716 Hi Barney sorry for the late reply , had issues with You tube . My collection suffered a fine mold on the records , the sleeves/covers oddly were just slightly damp feeling, but from what your saying i think your collection will be ok , as long they are not touching the floor of the basement or the walls .
I recommend a thorough clean of course and you will need quite a lot of cleaning fluid judging by the size of your collection,
could take awhile 🤔
For brand new staticy records could I just use the water without the cleaner?
All the cleaner is is isopropyl alcohol and few drops of dish soap
So it's
Distilled water with isopropyl alcohol and 2 drops of dawn liquid soap
Hey there, thanks for this video, it was a massive help! I do have a quick question however any help would be appreciated. I cleaned about half of my collection today (not very many at all as I just recently started collecting records) and will clean the rest tomorrow. I removed the brushes, scrubbed them and let them air dry on top of the unit which was still full of water. When coming back tomorrow, should I pour more of the cleaning solution onto the brushes or just slot them in and get to it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
You should saturate the brushes. Hope this helps
@@AudioAdvice it did, thank you!
great video. I am wondering about rinsing the brushes with hard water if someone has a lot of minerals in their running water.
Thank you. Distilled water is cheap, we would advise rinsing in it if your water is very hard
Get a medium size glass measuring cup . Fill with distilled water and microwave it for maybe 30 to 40 seconds so that it is warm . I squeeze the brushes together to get any cleaning residue out and then blot them with a microfiber towel. And let them air dry completely before you store them.
en fait c'est de l'eau distillée et quoi d'autre?
There are now a couple different types of 4oz bottle. Read the instructions to know whether to use one cap or three.
Yes there are, thanks for sharing
Just bought one and it’s 2 caps from the 4 oz bottle.
After using it on some used LPs, I experience an incredible amount of noise from the grooves. I would not recommend using it.
Doesnt this method scratch the surface a bit too much compared to a vacuum or even better ultrasonic method ?
The other methods you mention are better at cleaning from my research, but much more expensive. So if it’s in your budget, I’d go for those, but otherwise this is better than wiping with velvet. I don’t think it would scratch, but it could for those high gram records
Nice system. But with all the dj records I have. It will take forever to clean them. I thought it spin on its own. Great video very informative. 👍
Thanks for watching!
I found the best way, to first put 1 side on the towel,
Flip it over after about 10 seconds and wipe the first side
Flip it over and wipe the second side.
This way is useful as the cloth gets wet really fast and with about 35 records to clean each time I have to wait too long and just wiping water over the whole record when I do this method.
Thanks for sharing!
Do you have to use distilled water or can you use tap water
We like to use distilled, thanks for watching
There are two “water lines” on my unit: one near the very bottom and then one just below the rollers. Do I fill water just to the bottom line or the top line? I figure just the bottom
Yes, bottom is fine.
Helpful video however I wish you would have showed washing a 45. With both rollers in the 45 slot it is impossible to insert a 45 record! Also, apparently Big Fudge has decided to provide only 1 towel anymore and they also eliminated the yellow wash basin which is now all black and impossible to see what the condition of the liquid is.
Big Fudge and Spin Clean are two different companies. The Spin Clean is still yellow, still comes with two towels, and will fit 45s properly, unlike most of the knockoffs.
@@colinmattson589 I had no clue I was dealing with a knock-off product. I apologize, I have edited my review. Now I will look for your products in the future.
late comment but can the water damage the labels in any way?
If they sat wet for a while yes, we suggest if you accidently get them wet to just dry them off. Thanks for watching
Is it just me that wants to stick atari stickers on each end for a truly 70s feel?
Nice wine rack!
haha, thanks for watching
Does it really work work?
It works very well for the investment. Thanks for watching
There’s two lines inside. Do you fill to top one or the bottom one?
Hmm. Ours just has one. The Spin Clean instructions say the same. You don’t want water on the record label but just up to the last grooves. Thanks for watching
Mine has two. I figured lower one just wanted to check. Thx for replying
What happened to the window at 2:28, it just went dark! 😳
It's magic! This is an internal room in our showroom, so we have mock windows with video displays to provide the feeling of natural light. Looks like we caught it right as the scene was updating! :)
distelled water and bottle solution
Thank you for this helpful video. I am looking into buying a Spin Clean to properly clean my record collection (about 50 or so records)
How many records do you think I could clean before needing to switch out the solution? Thanks again for the helpful vid.
Thank you, it really depends on how dirty they are, you will be able to see when the water gets dirty.
I have washed about 1400 records in mine, I do about 25-35 at a time before dumping and refilling with new solution. I also replaced the brushes after about 500 records as they were getting worn out
how does the centre label not get wet?
you only fill the water to a level below the label
The Water line is designed so its right below the label
The water tends to run downwards in the groove, so it seems to just leave the label dry. Sometimes a drop will head to the label, but you just catch it with the towel.
If you're reusing that solution after cleaning dirty records, don't you run the risk of leaving residue on subsequent records?
Dirt drops to bottom
@@rickmarvin5510 and if you rotate the bottle its coming back .. just use 800ml destilled water, 200ml Isopropanol Alcohol and 1-2 drops of dish soap.. no need to reuse already used solution cause its cheap!
For some reason, my records don’t turn as easily in mine
Mine neither...
Right. Rollers keep popping out. I gave to keep dipping in the water to lubricate them.
Pros: can see and hear difference in records after cleaning as directed.
Cons: after a few dozen cleanings, the tracks on the 2 spools that record edges roll along as you rotate them clockwise then counter-clockwise, get gouged & very rough. Eventually the record edge stops gliding smoothly along the tracks and the spool "pops out", forcing the user to have to interrupt, fix then resume cleaning. After that it's spin-stop-reposition spool-spin-stop-reposition. Very annoying.
This started occurring even before I had finished the first 4-oz bottle of cleaning solution. So that drawback makes this device a temporary solution only.
They are probably orings , it may be possible to replace them with new ones of the correct size , but i take your point
may not be a long term reliable machine in this respect , mine is only a month old and i've cleaned my collection with no issues , but we will see after a few more cleaning sessions in the future how it performs.
@@hybrid6692 they are just plastic spinners. He is right and mine has started doing this as well and it is annoying indeed. I have seen some videos where people "fix" this by drilling a hole all the way through the machine including through the spinners and putting a stainless-steel dowel through so they can't try and pop out.
To give Spin Clean its due, in my collection (900+) there are LP's with varying degrees of QC in the manufacture: ones where the 2 sides come together in a razor's edge, and others where the edges are flat and rough. Those variations can age the black spindles faster than others.
It would have been fun if it was automatic
I recently bought a Pro-Ject Carbon EVO turn table, and trying to get back into listening to vinyl. I’m more convinced then ever that the vinyl resurgence is all about being trendy and “LOOKING” cool and nothing about actual sound quality. I’m having such a hard time cleaning my records and getting rid of clicks, pops, and distortion, it’s taking more time to care for the record then actually listening to it. I can listen to the same music on CD with my audiophile quality Oppo 205, or Lossless Apple Music streaming on my iPod plugged into asynchronous USB into the DAC input of my 205. Streaming and regular CDs sound awesome with my setup, so why am I buying vinyl re-issues and messing with listening to vinyl?
That is an age old debate. Most new music and anything recorded past the early 1980's likely was recorded in digital, so there really is no advantage to vinyl on those types of recordings. However, many people, including most of the ears at Audio Advice, think early analog recordings, when played back on a system that is pure analog have a warmer sound. Records done before the early 80's were all analog, but you will pay dearly for a mint or sealed copy in today's market. If you can find one, they are usually totally silent without ticks and pops. And there are repressing's you can buy for $50+ that were done all analog. But- one thing about vinyl that you do not get with digital is the tactile feel of the record cover, and the fact with digital you tend to skip around from song to song and never hear the whole side of a record like you do when you put a record on- which is how the artist hoped you would listen to it. If you have a large record collection, it is a ton of fun to have people over for dinner and spend the rest of the evening finding vinyl people want to hear and passing around the album covers. Digital just does not do that. Thanks for watching our video
the quality of modern record pressings is absolutely terrible. they look pretty but are pretty much garbage - not to mention the fact most modern LPs are first digitized then put on vinyl. creates a harshness.
@@AudioAdvice It's interesting, PS Audio done a video on this subject, concluding that even modern lp's seem to sound better than other formats, such as cd and digital files. Everyone was in agreement, but none of them could explain why, from a technical perspective.
That may be how Spin Clean says to clean a record, but it's a bad technique that is missing a crucial step. If you use the cloth to wipe off the contaminated liquid the cloth will get more and more contaminated as you clean additional records. You will then spread that contamination on to other records. Also, when you use the cloth it will not remove all of the contaminated liquid from the grooves.
Get some distilled water and a bottle to place it in the has a nozzle, so that when you squeeze the bottle a stream of distilled water is emitted. These bottles are cheap and available on line. They are used in chemistry labs for rinsing glassware.
After cleaning in the Spin Clean, rinse the record throughly with the distilled water before you use the cloth to dry it. This way you do not contaminate the cloth and spread that contimination from record to record.
If a record is especially dirty, I will clean it with soap ( I recommend using Dawn) and water before using the spin clean. Again, after this first cleaning, rinse with tap water and then distilled water before using the Spin Clean.
This is the proper way to clean a record using a Spin Clean. It's just common sense to not spread the contaminated liquid onto the cloth and then to additional reocrds. I'm surprised that Spin Clean doesn't understand how to do this the right way!
All that is unecessary. You can just wash the towels before every use.
This is the best advice on here.
do you use gloves??
I do, but it's really not necessary.
So you go to the trouble of using distilled water in the process only to use tap water to clean the brushes, possibly leaving residue on them for the next clean and using towels to dry the record, possibly leaving fibres and further residue on the record? Nope. Not a good system imo.
Good point. We've since updated that video and after they air dry, we recommend brushing them off before using them again. ruclips.net/video/2SO579RsM70/видео.html
Such a pity it doesn’t work,makes vinyl shiny buts that’s it.Zero removal of snap crackle and pop
If your vinyls' grooves have been damaged by a bad/worn diamond tip then it is not "dirt" or loose particles causing your snap, crackle, pop. Just using a dry Discwasher brush to remove dust removes much noise, so immersion cleaning with brushes will do quite a job. Sounds like you have other problems. Also, I have seen vinyl that looks shiny new, but plays crappy, and vinyl that looks all scratched, but plays near perfectly. It all depends on the shape of the groove walls. Once damaged always damaged. Important to have a good stylus tip.
Such a pity that you’re full of shit and it absolutely works when done correctly. Just google search. Everybody lying I guess?
You are clueless...mine works ...experts KNOW it works and yet YOU know best...too funny willie
Not so at all. I've brought almost dead records back to life. It won't cure scratches, but so much of the crackle has gone. It's a really good system.
