Frequently Asked Questions

Sound from a vinyl record is a mechanical/electrical process. The ridges pressed into the microgroove are the physical manifestation/copy of the music recording process. The ridges in the groove cause the stylus/needle to vibrate, creating an electrical signal in the cartridge, which is amplified and sent to the loud speakers, which vibrate the air, received by your ears and transmitted to your brain as glorious music. Most pops and crackles are caused by the stylus crashing into dirt/grime particles. (Some clean records can also be noisy.)

GrooveWasher G2 Fluid (manual method), G3 Fluid and GSR Super Rinse (vacuum method) and G-Sonic (ultrasonic method) dissolves the grime and fingerprint oils and holds them in solution for removal (microfiber wipe or vacuum). Let the good vibrations flow! GrooveWasher cleaning solutions enable crisper highs and deeper lows so you can enjoy the music like the artist intended.

Many audiophiles select GrooveWasher vinyl record cleaning and stylus care products for their preferred cleaning method.

Condition is hugely important!

The microgroove is the source of the sound. If the groove is dirty or worn or scratched or damaged, the quality of the music will be impaired. If the record is fully cleaned and still has noise, the noise is from the groove itself. Regardless of claims from supposed experts, nothing will recover the high fidelity music if the groove is damaged.

Even new records can have noise and pops if the LP. Every pressing plant is different and every LP is unique. That is a charm of this medium!

A PVC vinyl plastic record disc can generate a static charge quickly. Just rub a record with a dry cloth! Static charge can cause crackles and pops as the stylus tracks the groove. If your room air is dry, static can be a real problem!

There are many very expensive gadgets to reduce static charge. But the simplest method is to mist spray G2 Fluid on the edge of the cleaning pad or microfiber towel and damp wipe the record as it rotates on the turntable. Allow a few rotations to air dry and cue the stylus. It works!

Test this for yourself. Rub an LP (that you don't care about) with a dry towel. Tear a small piece of tissue paper and place it on the LP. It will stick, even if you tilt the record.

Now, place the LP on the turntable. Remove the tissue. Mist spray G2 Fluid on the cleaning pad and damp wipe as it rotates. Place the tissue back on to the record and tilt. The tissue will fall off because the G2 Fluid has eliminated the static charge. (For a while anyway!)

The record "needle" or stylus is a delicate and critical element in the music playback chain. The stylus tracks along the microgroove as the record rotates on the turntable. When it is vibrated by dirt, grime, fingerprint oils, a scuff or scratch or damage from a previous bad stylus, you hear irritating noise--pops and crackles. That's why cleaning the record and the stylus are so important!

GrooveWasher's SC1 Stylus Brush is noted by experts as the best on the market. SC1 Stylus Cleaning Fluid, to dampen the SC1 Brush, dissolves hard to remove gunk and dust and lint.

NOTE: If your stylus collects lint or gunk it means the record is still dirty. The stylus can't plow out grime from the groove if the groove is clean.

Most new records can be played with a quiet sound floor, right out of the jacket. Visually inspect both sides of the LP. If it looks clean, cue the stylus and enjoy the music! If there's noise, there could be hidden dust particles or oily grime hiding in the groove. Clean both sides per our instructions and try again. Some vintage records require mulitlple manual cleanings. A record from the flea market bins probably needs more love than a new one that’s never left its sleeve. 

After a vinyl LP has been fully cleaned, the next time you play it, just do a G2 Fluid damp wipe to remove room air dust and static.

Cleaning vinyl records is a ritual that record veterans enjoy. Trust your ears. Use your judgement and enjoy the music. Read our Here user guide.

David F. - 4/28/23 - GrooveWasher has quality. GrooveWasher has quality made record cleaning products. They offer fast friendly service. It's the little things that for me show that this company actually uses their own products. For example the stylus brush and how well it fits in the hand and has bristles that you're not afraid to use on your stylus. Another example are the inner sleeves. These sleeves have a little extra room so you can slide your hand in with the record. I did not think that was a big deal until I bought a pack of BF sleeves while I was on Amazon. The BF sleeves are too tight to allow your hand to place the record inside. GrooveWasher cleaning fluids do the job well and the beautiful wood handled record brush with removable pads keeps my records clean.

Mike S. - 11/18/22 - Great product! Very pleased with the cleaning ability of the Black Magic pad in conjunction with the Mondo Cleaning Kit. Was able to deep clean some records that had some skips, and they play through now - skips are gone! Very happy with these products and would highly recommend!!

Brian R. - 8/27/25 - Back in the Groove! I recently bought a vintage Dual 1019 turntable to play olds LPs my parents had as well as others I just bought. I knew I needed to clean them after 40 some years of sitting and began the research for current products and methods. Landed on GrooveWasher. Easy choice a full suite of products to handle the light thru heavier cleaning and gentle dust removal Even got the stylus kit. Worked absolutely great!

Brandon M. - 8/14/25 - The Best, After reading online forums and reviews of the G2 GrooveWasher fluid I decided to give it a go. The intended purpose is to clean records I inherited from a family friend. These ecords were unfortunately damaged in a flood. He was slowly cleaning the vinyl, replacing the sleeves and writing the band/song lineup by hand on the outer jacket. Unfortunately he did not finish this endeavor so I have taken it upon myself to finish it. This cleaner has revitalized the vinyl. The sound clarity is exceptional and the vinyl has a glossy (non greasy) look that no other cleaner I have used in the past could do.

David B. - 7/26/25 - Excellent Product. I bought an ultrasonic cleaner with the thought that distilled water was all I needed to effectively clean my vinyl. After a few cleaning sessions it was apparent that I needed something else. I read some recommendations online for your G-Sonic Ultrasonic Concentrate so I gave it a shot. Cleaning results are much better, the product insures that the water gets into the grooves resulting in a much quieter playback, I have 50 yr old albums I’ve had since high school that sound as they did when I first got them, 100% Worth the purchase.

Stephen C. - 1/19/25 - I have bought many items. I have bought many items from GrooveWasher. I have been happy with everything! Everything is high quality! I definitely recommend this company.

Randy W. - 6/5/23 - Results you can see in seconds! The Groovewasher pad and G2 spray did miracles on my records, most notably my old hand-me-down Christmas albums from my Grandmother. They are from the late 60s-70s and were covered in fingerprints, dirt, and dust. They were also stored in the cardboard sleeve with no protection so they had lots of broken down paper bits on them. Now they look brand new and have a new plastic and rice paper sleeve to keep them mint. Will definitely be coming back for future record-cleaning needs! 

Mark B. - 7/10/23 - Everything is perfect! As you know, I have purchased a lot of your products. I've been there from the start and I will continue to recommend your entire line of vinyl cleaners. I just purchased an ultrasonic cleaner and of course you guys have a cleaning solution to help! Awesome! Thanks all! Keep up the good work and I'm sure you'll be seeing more orders from me. Everything is perfect! Signed, a proud customer in KC! 

SANFORD O - 9/17/23 - Love the products! I have been looking for a replacement for the original Disc Washer for years. Most of what I have tried have been horrible. Until now! Great cleaning products and the removable pads are the bomb! Your customer service has been outstanding and your website is easy. Thanks for everything!

Nick P. - 7/31/23 - Works extremely well. I’ve used the Groovewasher G2 fluid as part of my record cleaning process for years and it absolutely works very well. The stylus cleaning fluid and the brush are also top notch. Softest stylus brush I’ve ever come across, and I totally trust the combo on my more expensive cartridges.
