The cleaning frequency depends on usage and storage conditions. As a general guideline, a light cleaning before every play will ensure maximum audio quality and longevity. However, if your records are stored in clean, dust-free conditions, a deep clean every 50 plays might suffice.

Yes, our cleaning fluid is designed to work well with any microfiber cleaning cloth. Although this vinyl record care fluid is ideally suited for use with our 4-in-1 cleaning kit, you can use it effectively with any high-quality, lint-free cloth or brush.

One bottle of Record Friend™ cleaning fluid is enough to clean about 500 records when properly diluted. This means if you clean your records every 50 plays, a single bottle could potentially last for years.

In addition to regular cleaning, using our protective inner sleeves and anti-static brush will help shield your LPs from dust and static. Also, keep your stylus in top condition with our Stylus Care Kit for the best audio performance.

Brushes can wear out over time and might not clean as effectively. Regularly replacing the brush in your Record Friend™ system ensures optimal cleaning and extends the life of your records. Want to learn more about our vinyl record care products? Explore our vinyl cleaning solutions.
