Haydn Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Any of these cloths are fine to use for fingerprints and small amounts of dirt. Usually find that after a wash, cotton towelling is great for soaking the moisture out the grooves. A great excuse to use up leftover towelling nappies that were cast aside for disposable nappies. A use for everything, lol The actual record cleaning cloths that you can buy are good but can leave a bit of static behind and as soon as you have cleaned the record, the dust is attracted back onto the record. To combat this you can give a quick wipe with car upholstery wipes which will dry quickly to a nice shiny finish. Works for me H Hi all Anyone got any advice on record cleaning cloths please?

Soulboy69 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 I agree with 'Haydn", i use toweling cloths (a top tip from a major record dealer no less!) and find them brilliant. These can be found in shops where they sell baby products. Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
