Disc Doctor Quick Wash 1X Record Cleaner

Unless you've cleaned your records with The Disc Doctor's Miracle Record Cleaner, you've yet to enjoy all the music your records have to offer! Every record in your collection should be cleaned before you play it again, and every record added to your collection should be cleaned before playing.

Every record, even if thought to be cleaned, is soiled with a wide range of dirts and contaminants, including mold and mildew. Vinyl discs are also coated with sticky mould-release compounds. Contaminants between the groove and diamond stylus or steel needle cause mistracking and are abrasive resulting in unnecessary, excessive wearing of both record and stylus. By interfering with proper groove tracing, dirty records produce inaccurate, noisy sound.

Quick Wash Considerations

Each bottle is accompanied by a 4 oz. dispenser with a flip-cap having a 1mm orifice to allow for easier dispensing directly to the record. The general instructions are to spread 2-2.5 mL (1/2 tbsp) of Quick Wash solution around a record using the applicator that came with the machine (10-15 sec.), then to vacuum, followed by brief air drying. Using the wet cleaning brush will improve cleaning by more effectively mixing fluid in the groove. Allow for light scrubbing for very dirty discs.

This no-rinse solution has been specifically developed for use with a vacuum-based cleaning machine but may be used for manual cleaning. Although the standard Disc Doctor record cleaner and brushes afford audibly more thorough cleaning, many customers will gladly trade the difference for the convenience. We believe the Quick Wash solution offers superior cleaning when used with vacuum-assisted machines. The ingredients include high purity water, a proprietary blend of non-hazardous, biodegradable surfactants and propanol.
