Vinyl records are precious and timeless. In this world where everything else has gone digital or even virtual– it’s nice to know that many people appreciate all things vintage. However, if you happen to collect vinyl records from way back or even purchase new releases, proper care of these precious records is a must! Unfortunately, getting your record cleaned can be a little pricey, especially if you have a huge collection of vinyl records that need cleaning. Fortunately, there is a way to save money by cleaning your own vinyl records.

You can scour the internet to look for ways on how to clean your vinyl records. Still, most sources are not very practical– especially if you are looking to emulate what a professional vinyl cleaning job looks like. Some sources might say you can do it by mixing home record cleaning products– but that is simply not true. Not only are you risking the integrity of your vinyl records, but these home DIY methods are also not very reliable.

What do I need?

If you want to clean your vinyl records like a Professional, you need to invest in one of two things; an Ultrasonic Cleaner or a Vacuum RCM. a professional Ultra-Sonic Vinyl Record Cleaning fluid or a Universal Vinyl Cleaning Formula that is suitable for both Vacuum Record Cleaners and manual cloth application. It might sound like a lot of money to purchase the kit and materials– but if you have a huge high value collection, or one with great sentimental value, the professional laboratory-grade cleaning formula and ultra-sonic cleaner don’t really cost as much as a new vinyl record depending on volume! And since they can extend your vinyl record’s life from now and forever– they are not only cheap but easy to use!

Even without the record cleaner machine, you can also clean your records manually using a quality spray & micro-cloth. However, cleaning with an Ultra-Sonic Record Cleaning Machine or RCM will yield superior results.

Can I make my own cleaning formula?

If you want your records to sound better all the time, you should use pre-made record cleaning formula. Instead of trying to make the formula yourself, save yourself the time and just purchase the formula. With Professionally formulated Ultrasonic or RCM Record Cleaning Fluid, you can rest assured that your vinyl is clean and protected– extending its life and sounding better! After giving your records a good clean, you will instantly hear a significant difference with the audio quality– especially if you are a certified audiophile!

These cleaners are compatible with record cleaning machines and mixing your own formula might not be– so make sure you choose something like Shimmer or Shimmer Ultra-Sonic. These formulas are perfect for RCMs and Ultra-Sonic Record Cleaning Machines, and honestly– it is cheaper in the long run than wasting your time trying to make an unreliable DIY formula!

Shimmer products are created by professionals in Laboratory conditions. They contain purified ingredients such as almost 100% pure bioethanol, 99.99% Isopropanol, 6-stage steam distilled lab-grade water, and non-ionic photo-grade surfactant wetting agents that ensures it cleans every nook and groove deeply and thoroughly. Unfortunately, these ingredients are not common home materials, meaning it is near impossible to create a formula as pure as the Shimmer option.

The Benefits of Using Laboratory-Grade Formula Vinyl Record Cleaners

It is safe- Using these formulas is safer than unknown cleaners. They are made for vinyl records and using them won’t damage your precious records!

It is cheap- Using formulas like Shimmer will save you more money than having it cleaned by a professional. This is because they will basically use the same thing, and you end up paying them for something you can do at home.

It is easy- Instead of asking someone else to clean your collection, you can do it yourself, and it is not very hard– especially if you can do it at home.
