Hello, I have a method of cleaning my vinyl that I use. A homemade solution consisting of 1 part distilled water, 1 part white vinegar and a small drop of dish soap. I shook that up in a spray bottle and spray that on a micro fiber cloth, although I have heard of people spraying cleaning solution directly on the record. I tried that and made a huge mess. This solution should last me longer than the small commercial bottles because the full spray bottle is 32 ounces. I haven't seen any negative impact on my records yet, does anybody else use a homemade record cleaning solution? Thank You, Rich

Do you want to start a vinyl collection? Or maybe you have one and you want it to last the more time possible. Great! Learn this method for cleaning vinyl records. Remember that the process of reproducing vinyl it is so delicate that even a tiny particle resting on the surface of the record can damage its reproduction. That is why you have to take good care of your records. For having the best listening experience possible. And not only that!
