The brush is really designed to spread the cleaner evenly across the surface, not to scrub the surface and create bubbles/suds. The cleaner contains surfactants that break surface tension, allowing cleaner to settle into the grooves and loosen the gunk through a chemical reaction- not by agitation- the brush bristles are too large to actually fit IN the tiny grooves. The gunk/debris is then 'suspended' in the solution until the vacuum sucks it out. By letting the cleaner sit for a longer time (a few minutes?) it can more effectively loosen the gunk in the grooves. Scrubbing does clean the record of course, but you're not actually scrubbing IN the grooves with that brush- you're cleaning the surface.
seh ich auch so .. die rotierende Bürste von Hannl beispielsweise berührt kaum die Platte, da wird der Schmutz durch die Bewegung der Flüssigkeit gelöst. Mit dem Geschruppe entfernt man nicht nur den Schmutz, sondern auch die gespeicherten Informationen.
yes! finally someone with common sense!! the key for cleaning effectively is-AGITATION-!!!or scrubbing to get the grim in to suspence,i would personally moving the brush a bit faster and longer to really see the """foam"" but i""am glad you discover how it should be!! thanks for the video!!
This is a great how-to. I have had an Okki Nokki for years. I find it interesting that you - and many others - recommend a distilled water rinse cycle (after L'Art du Son cleaning cycle) since Okki Nokki themselves fail to list that as a step in their own manual. Why do you think they committed that step? I must say that I wish I had watched this years ago because I have cleaned hundreds of albums without a rinse cycle. Do I now need to go back to every single once and simply give them each a rinse? What a huge bummer.
I'm about to order an Okki Nokki and just did a ton of research confirming that rinsing the record is a must after applying cleaning solution no matter what record cleaning machine you are using. If not then your stylus is immediately going to pickup any residue from the solution from the cleaned records.
@@citizenerased000 ich habe noch nirgends gesehen, dass man danach einen Reinigungsvorgang mit destillierten Wasser machen muss. Mit einer guten Reinigungsflüssigkeit halte ich das nicht für nötig. Wenn die Absaugeinheit in Ordnung ist wird die Flüssigkeit sehr gut entfernt.
