Questions & Answers

Are the brisels all facing the same way?

If that's what you're looking for, it cleans in both directions.

I got one today that has a velvety feel to it. The fabric is not red, but black. Is it possible to tell the difference between the two? Thanks?

My records are black, and the cleaner is black, that's all I have to say. When cleaning your records, if the red fabric on your cleaner is well-made, it should not release any color dye.

What is the best way to clean a brush?

Inside, there's a piece of foam that works quite well. Most things can be solved with canned air. Cleaning it hasn't been a problem for me.

When you run out of cleaner, can you just buy the cleaner?

The cleaner, unfortunately, is only included in the kit.

Selected User Reviews For Crosley AC20 Record Cleaning Kit

It Isn't A Dishwasher But it's a close call
4/5

A couple of things to consider. br>To begin with, purists will poo-poo this idea. Any brush cleaning solution should be avoided, as they do nothing more than move the debris around. and they'd be correct to a point, but only to a point. This isn't a substitute for proper record cleaning (on which there are far too many differing viewpoints to even begin), but it's a good way to keep dust and debris from getting deep into the grooves, as long as you a) keep the brush itself clean and don't use it dry or apply too much pressure. Only a TINY amount of cleaning solution should be used - The idea is to dampen the fibers just enough that very small debris adheres to the brush and is lifted off with the brush rather than being pushed around and relocated on the vinyl elsewhere, as is the complaint. When used properly and on a regular basis, it will significantly reduce the time between cleanings. Second, unlike the RCA and other low-cost alternatives, this Crosley brush is EXACTLY like the old Discwasher brushes with directional bristles. Although the fibers on this brush aren't as long as those on the other, they are directional, and you should only use it in one direction if you don't want to depost what's in the brush INTO the grooves - Obviously, this isn't what you were looking for. And, by the way, instead of lifting the dust and debris off, the cheaper versions do exactly that. br>In terms of vinyl cleaning hand-brushes, this is a fantastic product. Mine has been in my possession for about three years. It's still working perfectly. Maintain a tidy environment!.

There will be no dust anymore! This is the brush I use to clean records that have a lot of dust on them
5/5

I have a carbon fiber anti-static wristband that I use. For smaller jobs, use a static brush. This brush easily removes the dust from my records. The "cleaning solution," according to the instructions, is simply distilled water. I've only used the brush with distilled water; I haven't tried it with any other cleaning product.

This is, without a doubt, superior to the majority of record cleaning kits I've come across
5/5

This is, without a doubt, superior to the majority of record cleaning kits I've come across. The main brush bit removes oil and dust from my records more effectively than any other brush I've used. I hardly ever use the water or sponge that came with the kit. The brush is the place to be.

Cleaning Brush made by Crosley For the past five years, I've been collecting vinyl records
5/5

I buy new records from time to time, and I also buy used records from time to time. After I buy them, I usually clean them, both new and used ones. My father gave me a beautiful turntable, and he used to clean his records with a cleaning kit back in the day. A small velvet cleaner, a small bristled brush, and a small bottle of cleaning solution were included in the cleaning kit (which I believe was a Memorex kit). I had been cleaning my records with that kit until recently - Then it came to an end when the velvet cleaning stick began to shed. When I tried to clean a new record, it was covered in small pieces of black velvet. Because it's a bright yellow record, I could clearly see it, and cleaning it up took some time. After reading the reviews, I realized it was time to replace the old cleaning kit, so I ordered this one to replace it. I'm glad I did because it's been a great experience - This brush is far nicer and cleaner than the one that came with my father's turntable. It's a big brush with a lot of surface area to work with. The brush is black velvet, and the handle is made of wood with a sliding compartment to hold the included bottle of distilled water. You should clean your record with the solution with the brush once at a 45-degree angle, then dry it with the brush at the opposite end at the same angle. The true test came after I dropped Eddie Hazel's "Game, Dames, and Guitar Thangs" about a month ago. (Shame on me, but I was baking at the time and have a proclivity for butterfingers!) ) Thankfully, it was unharmed, but it had accumulated a thick layer of lint and dust, which was easily removed with the Crosley cleaning brush. After a few smooth runs with this baby, Hazel's wax, as lustrous as an ebony piano, sounds as clean and full as it should, and his guitar flourishes are richer than they've ever been. Any serious music enthusiast would benefit from this cleaning brush.

With one exception, it was almost exactly as I remembered it
4/5

It's probably the most accurate representation of the old discwasher system I could find. One drawback I don't recall from the discwasher is that the liquid simply runs off the pad as soon as I wet it unless I apply it with extreme care. It's a pain, but I can put up with it.

Although not exactly as described or pictured, it will suffice
3/5

Overall, a great product, but the photo depicts a lid for the felt (which is also red in the photo, not black). Although a lid is probably not necessary, this device theoretically cleans dust, but won't it just collect dust when not in use if it doesn't have one? I got distilled water instead of the vinyl record cleaner shown in the picture. I'm not sure whether or not this makes a difference. br>br>Don't get me wrong: this is a fantastic product; it's just not what I was hoping for. Because that's what was pictured, I was expecting the same thing I had before. That one had three wooden pieces: one with the brush, one with a handle/storage compartment, and a cover that the brush slid into. br>br>It also came with a piece of foam to clean the dust off the brush, which I knew a dust brush should have, but it wasn't mentioned in the description or shown in the picture. This is something I'm glad it mentioned. If I received what I thought I ordered, I would give it a five-star rating. br>br>**UPDATE** 5/8/12br>I have to say that the distilled water ("record cleaning solution") does a fantastic job of cleaning the vinyl. You don't want to wipe the water off with the brush because you'll end up with wet smears on the record and a wet brush, which will just make the record wet again for a few hours; instead, I used a super soft no-lint anti-static cloth. To remove the water, use a static cloth and a brush to quickly wipe it away.

The DiscWasher has been resurrected
4/5

It's almost the same as the original DiscWasher; I believe the contact point with the record is a little too rounded. The one billed as the "new" DiscWasher is nothing like it.

Kits that look like they're from a bygone era
5/5

This is exactly how we used to do things back in the 1970s. Velvet of good quality to aid in the collection of dust particles. It's a little on the pricey side, but nothing out of the ordinary.
