Cleanliness is an absolute to achieve the best sound quality of your vinyl records. A clean vinyl record will not only sound better, but last longer. It has long been proven that the playing of dirty records will result in a rapid deterioration of quality and degradation of the original recorded sound, or simply can cause permanent damage to your vinyl records. The preservation of your valuable or irreplaceable vinyl records requires special care and cleaning. Not to mention that, stylus wear is greatly accelerated by playing dirty records, and as you know with the cost of new cartridges these days, playing dirty records can lead to a significant and unneeded expense.

So then everyone who owns, previously owned or is interested in purchasing vinyl records should know they need to be maintained in a clean condition in order to sound their best and to preserve the quality of their fragile surfaces. Record cleaning devises operate on a number of different theories and principles, but they all have one thing in common -- they do not totally clean all pollutants from record grooves. They leave film, grease, residue, micro dust, static electricity, carbon fiber hair, and mold release compounds behind. These remaining pollutants prevent the record owner from hearing all the music on the record, regardless of the quality of the playback system and they cause premature wear of the record and stylus. Until now, no available record cleaning system was accepted by professionals and enthusiasts alike as producing the desired result -- clean records. No single system was able to rid a record's surface of film, grease, residue, and dust while it eliminated static electricity and left a purified vinyl disc.

Nitty Gritty offers such a system. Records cleaned on a Nitty Gritty system reproduce all the music stored in their grooves without the interference and masking of record pollutants. The Improvement in sound that a Nitty Gritty cleaning makes is so dramatic that the benefit of upgrading one component of a hi-fi system is less significant in comparison. the Nitty Gritty record cleaning system has established itself as an essential component in every hi-fi system

The proper care and maintenance of records is really a common sense procedure. once we understand and appreciate those conditions or circumstances which contribute to record wear and deterioration, we are in much better position to do something about it.

The Nitty Gritty Two Step Record Cleaning System
Vinyl Record Cleaning Perfected

The first step of the Nitty Gritty record cleaning process is to scrub the record with a special fluid wash. Nitty Gritty offers two record cleaning washes. Purifier 2 is the stronger cleaner, capable of overpowering the most stubborn residue or grease. It contains a de-greaser, a static neutralizer, a mild detergent and surfactant. Purifier 2 has a remarkable low 6 parts solid per million dissolved solids, making it residue free. Purifier 1 is recommended for 78 rpm records as it contains no alcohol. Both purifiers are formulated from chemicals that are totally biodegradable. The Nitty Gritty vac-sweep brush has thousands of microscopic fibers that gently scrub the record's grooves. Its short bristles make the most efficient use of Nitty Gritty's special cleaning fluids, and its softness protects a record from abrasion

The second step of the Nitty Gritty record cleaning process is to vacuum the scrubbed record. Possibly the most unique part of the Nitty Gritty system is the "hemicylindrical lip interface". Through these fiber covered lips, the vacuum motor suctions a dry path across the entire grooved surface of the record. The shape of the lips serves to minimize contact with the record as well as maximize the velocity of air. The vac-sweep fibrous cloth liner provides additional scrubbing while it cushions contact with the record, protecting the fragile grooves. The record is supported on the rotating platform which is designed to eliminate any contact with the record grooves. This removes the possibility of re-contaminating the first side cleaned, while cleaning the second. The vacuum motor is directly coupled to the lips, providing the most powerful, effective design possible. The motor is an industrial grade, flow-through type, providing the user with trouble free cleaning.

Vinyl Record Care and Maintenance

What is a Vinyl Record ??
Vinyl records were introduced and marketed as the unbreakable record, unlike its shellac counterpart of days gone by, that would break at the drop of a hat and becomes more brittle over time. Vinyl records are made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) which has been proven to be a most stable material for sound recording. As a practical matter, vinyl records provide excellent sound quality when treated with care.Vinyl Records were the music source of choice for radio stations for decades, and the switch to digital music libraries by radio stations has not produced a noticeable improvement in sound quality..., as a note most radio stations severely reduce the dynamic range of their broadcasts and the allowed frequency bandwidth for a radio station is less than the bandwidth on a well-made record. Casual ears cannot detect a difference in quality between a CD and a clean new LP. Read More about Vinyl Records
