Take Care [VINYL]

Product Information

Dry Cleaning – Use a carbonfibrebrush to clean your vinyl before and after every play. Brush lightly along the grooves and this will help prevent the build up of dust and other dirt. The carbon strands (on the outer surface of the cleaner) reduce the static charge on the vinyl (which attracts dust) and the inner part (usually a cloth material) then collects the dust on the second wipe after the static is reduced.Remember to regularly clean the brush too. This should be a regular practice in your listening sessions.
