    how to get rid off dust?

    Hi guys,
    I have a lot of records which although are in excellent condition they have a lot of dust on them, that I can't get rid off with a simple record's brush (or whatever else is called, sorry i don't speak that well english).
    Is there any other way to get rid off it? A spray maybe?
    Thanks,
    George

    There are record cleaning fluids, for example from AM named manufacturer. It's quite ok to use in removing small dirty spots etc from the surface of the vinyl. The thing is to use it only very very little damped in a smooth cloth, otherwise it adds distortion to the sound.

    The dust can be a real teaze :evil: If there's just dust in your records I would get rid of it with a decent and solid brush made out of coalfibre. It takes time to get the dust off little by little, but I think it's more tender for the vinyl than any liquid. Once you do this and use decent inner sleeves and store you vinyl right, the dust will stay of.

    I sometimes wonder, how and where do people keep there vinyl, :-? the used vinyl looks really bad sometimes - luckily they don't always sound that bad :D

    I found this link:

    on how to make yourself a cleaning device. Basically you need isopropyl alcohol mixed with water and a surfacant and then a vacum cleaner.
