Does Spin-Clean® really work?

Yes! Spin-Clean® has been on the market for 40 years, used worldwide, and lauded by record collectors, libraries, radio stations, the Library of Congress, and audiophiles everywhere. The Spin-Clean® Record Washer MKII has been named The Absolute Sound 2011-2013 Editors' Choice, the 2011 Product of the Year Award Winner, the 2010 Stereophile Accessory Runner-Up Award Winner, and a Stereophile Recommended Component! Using Spin-Clean® as directed, you should see results whereby output sensitivity is substantially increased, channel separation is improved, and amplified record noise is reduced.

How does Spin-Clean® work?

The Spin-Clean® Record Washer Mark II's real effectiveness comes from its ability to impeccably clean both sides of any record simultaneously without using your turntable as part of the process. The “heavy lifting” is accomplished through Spin-Clean® Record Washer MKII's unique washer fluid. This special formula encapsulates the dirt that comes off the record from deep within the record grooves and sinks it to the bottom of the washer basin, so it is not re-deposited back on to your valuable LPs and 45s.

How long will the brushes last?

With typical usage, you can expect your pair of Spin-Clean® brushes to last two to three years or around 4000+ record cleanings.

How long will the rollers last?

With regular usage, you can expect the rollers to last the lifetime of your unit.

Why is the use of distilled water recommended?

While you can use tap water in cases where distilled water may not be available to you, tap water often contains minerals or other impurities that may be deposited in the grooves of your record, undermining the cleaning effectiveness of the brushes and fluid. In addition, these tap water impurities may become deposited on the brushes, further hampering the effectiveness of future cleanings.

Can I wash and reuse the included drying cloths?

Absolutely yes. In fact, we recommend that in order to unlock the full potential of the drying cloths, you pre-wash them. Remember when washing the drying cloths, if you're washing with other clothes, wash ONLY with whites, detergent, and bleach -- and refrain from using fabric softener or cling-free dyer sheets, as these materials can ultimately introduce unwanted contaminates to your records.

How dry do my records have to be before I play them?

Simply put, 100% dry. Leaving residual water in the record grooves, while not harmful to your vinyl records, will result in audible surface noise. Remember, if the drying cloths you’re using are wet or damp, your records will take longer to dry. Some users find it helpful to first air-dry their records in a dish rack. Others like to use microfiber towels in place of – or in addition to – the Spin-Clean® drying cloths. Depending on the brand of microfiber towel, it can potentially hold up to eight times its weight in water and can be very effective in drying records. Please bear in mind, however, that microfiber towels, because of their unique properties, also have the ability to pick up grit or other abrasive particles. So just make certain any microfiber towels you might use are also pre-washed prior to and after Spin-Clean® washes.

Is it safe to leave the brushes in the basin filled with water and fluid for an extended period of time?

While this is okay for a relatively short period of time (overnight, for example), we recommend that, in order to get the maximum life out of your brushes, you refrain from routinely leaving them submerged in the basin for extra long periods of time. Over-saturation of water and fluid may cause premature wearing of the brushes’ foam pads.

Will the Spin-Clean® cleaning process damage the record label?

No. Spin-Clean’s patented record washer fluid is a non-alcoholic, encapsulating solution that will not damage the label and wipes off easily, should any water/fluid make contact with your record’s label.

Is it okay to run a really dirty record through the Spin-Clean® unit multiple times?

Yes, if you feel that a record requires more than one cleaning, there is no harm in giving a record more than one “bath.”

I’m hearing surface noise after running a record through Spin-Clean. What am I doing wrong?

From our experiences, resultant surface noise after using Spin-Clean could be due to any number of the following reasons:

- Not using distilled water. Please make sure you're using distilled water, as tap water or spring water may leave mineral deposits or other impurities behind in the record grooves.

- Not thoroughly drying the records. No matter if you use the included Spin-Clean® Drying Cloths, or microfiber towels, make certain that the records are completely dry prior to playing.

- Too much washer fluid was used. By using only the recommended amount of fluid (3 capfuls from the 4 oz., bottle, and 1 capful from the 8 oz., 16 oz., and 32 oz. bottles), you will ensure that, after drying, any water and fluid will have been easily wiped away.

- The brushes have become contaminated (perhaps from a previous cleaning session whereby a substance on a dirty record collected onto the brushes). Under warm water and with a soft toothbrush, gently but thoroughly scrub the brushes, so as to give them a new cleansing.

- Your stylus is damaged or needs replacing. Be certain that your turntable is employing a stylus that is in good working order. A damaged or worn stylus can result in not only unwanted record noise, but also permanent and irreversible damage to your vinyl collection.

Will Spin-Clean® remove the scratches from my records?

No. While your Spin-Clean® Record Washer unit can help in the removal of clicks, pops, and surface noise brought on by dust, dirt, fingerprints, etc., it cannot remove scratches or other physical imperfections inherent on the vinyl. A good analogy might be driving a scratched and dirty car into the car wash. While the car wash will remove the dirt and debris, it cannot remove scratches or dings from the car’s body.

How much water does the Spin-Clean basin hold?

When filling up the basin to the indicator line on the inner side-wall of the basin, you will use 24 oz. of water.

Is Spin-Clean® safe to use on my shellac 78 rpm records?

Unlike other record cleaning solutions, Spin-Clean's Record Washer Fluid NEVER contains alcohol or any harmful agents. Therefore, cleaning your shellac 78s through a Spin-Clean system is perfectly safe.
