FAQ & tips - Frequently asked questions and useful tips

How do I clean records properly?
The secret is that nothing should be left in the groove after cleaning. Sounds simple - but it's not. A higher standard than "just cleaning" is necessary if music is to be played with the highest fidelity. After treatment, the record should be silent: You hear nothing but the music - no pops, no hisses, no pops - provided the record is physically intact.

Why should I worry about dust on my records?
Apart from sound degradation, dust and dirt on the record costs money. Dust, grains of sand and particles removed by the cartridge can not only damage the record, but also wear out the stylus faster and change the sound. Many of these particles are harder than the material of the record and can cause micro-scratches. A worn stylus can also cause permanent damage, resulting in reduced detail reproduction.

What causes unwanted noises on records?
Crackling, crackling records are often wrongly described as "scratched". In fact, it is usually dirt or "crud" in the grooves - i.e. dust, deposits and particles that have become lodged. Analyses show that these contaminants consist of silica particles, abrasion, soot, fibers and also binding agents that keep these particles on the surface. Greasy substances, oils, nicotine or skin oils act as binding agents, causing dirt particles to stick to the grooves.

Do all records benefit from cleaning?
Yes, both new and used records benefit from a thorough treatment. New records may initially appear clean, but often carry residues of press-release substances and static charge. Older or heavily played records usually have a lot of contaminants that have accumulated over the years.

Are all record cleaning methods essentially the same?
No. The only acceptable standard is a method that removes everything from the groove: particles, binding agents, static charge, residues. Brushes and cloths reach their limits here because they only have a superficial effect. Only a method that penetrates deep into the groove, dissolves impurities and neutralizes static charge is really effective.

Why is Record Restore so good at cleaning records?
The challenge lies in completely removing the mixture of particles and binders from the groove. Record Restore breaks up oily and greasy binders and emulsifies them, dissolving the particles. During drying, a film structure is formed in which all impurities are trapped - this film shell can then be removed. This removes 100% of the dissolved components without leaving any residue.

What is the best method for cleaning vinyl records?
If your goal is to really remove everything from the groove and eliminate static, then Record Restore is the answer. Only Record Restore combines the complete removal of dissolved impurities with simultaneous neutralization of static charge - all in one step.

What are the benefits of Record Restore?

  • Prevents static charge - fine particles are not attracted

  • Restores fidelity and eliminates noise

  • Extends the life of the stylus - your records and cartridges are protected

  • Extremely practical - requires no electricity, can be used in small spaces

  • Easy to use, no mess, batchable - about 3 minutes per record

  • Unlike conventional water methods, Record Restore leaves no residue behind

Why is static electricity bad for records?
Static charge on a record can discharge through the cartridge, creating pops and hiss. In addition, a static charge attracts fine particles flying around, which then get stuck. As long as the charge is not neutralized, such particles cannot be effectively removed. Record Restore removes static charge permanently - this prevents new contaminants from sticking.

How does Record Restore tackle static electricity?
Record Restore's formula is designed to neutralize statically charged particles. As long as there is a charge, particles are difficult to remove - they literally "stick" to the groove. By neutralizing these adhesive forces, even the finest particles can be removed. Record Restore therefore not only ensures thorough cleaning, but also prevents new sources of noise.

Why is Record Restore particularly suitable for old record collections?
Record Restore is ideal for restoring extensive and older collections. The box set allows up to 10 LPs to be processed simultaneously - in an area of only around one square foot. It works without electricity, without noise and without chemical mixing. Once you have internalized the process, you can treat a batch of ten records in about half an hour (without drying time).

How easy is it to use the Record Restore Box Set?
Many people neglect record care because they shy away from the effort involved. With the Box Set, the setup is done in less than a minute and takes up very little space (e.g. a coffee table surface). Whether one or ten plates - the effort remains minimal. Cleaning is not messy, there are no aqueous solutions that could splash. And cleaning up often only takes two minutes, including cleaning the brush.

What is the safest way to clean/restore old 78 rpm records?
The older 78 RPM records are usually made of delicate Shellac, which should not be treated with conventional vinyl compound. That's why Record Restore has a special formula that is safe for both Shellac and vinyl and will not harm the surface.

Vinyl care - record cleaning

A professional wet washing machine cleans thoroughly - but it doesn't remove everything. Grease, oil, nicotine residue and electrostatically bound microparticles chemically adhere to the groove edges and remain even after multiple machine washes. Record Restore starts where machines stop: as an archive-compatible reactivation system that specifically removes these binding substances from deep within the groove, neutralizes them and removes them completely without leaving any residue - without electricity, without equipment, without mechanical abrasion. The result is documented by measurement: up to +11 dB signal-to-noise ratio and permanently eliminated electrostatic charge.

The Record Restore Box Set contains everything you need for professional home use - carefully coordinated and designed so that the entire set-up takes up no more space than a coffee table. With four 200 ml bottles, one box set is sufficient for up to 120 LPs. Once you've experienced Record Restore, you won't want to treat your collection any differently.

+11 dB SNR measured
Independently tested increase in signal-to-noise ratio - corresponds to ~75 % sound improvement
For 120 LPs
4 × 200 ml are sufficient for up to 120 records - approx. 3.0-3.5 ml per side of a 12″ LP
New on the EU market
Alcohol-free, surfactant-based, suitable for archives - used by collectors and audio experts worldwide
Scope of delivery - The box set in detail
4 × 200 ml Record Restore Alcohol-free, surfactant-based cleaning emulsion - sufficient for up to 120 LPs. Also available individually as a refill.
Turntable turning device Precise turning aid with record support pucks (2 × 90 mm, 1 × 105 mm) - for safe, controllable work without touching the groove surface.
Stack Rack drying rack Holds up to 10 records simultaneously - enables convenient batch cleaning without waiting time between records.
Smoothing brush For even distribution of the emulsion over the entire record surface - for complete coverage right to the outermost grooves.
5 ml syringe For precise, reproducible dosing - no spilling, no wastage. Approx. 3.0-3.5 ml per LP side is sufficient.
Peel-off tape For residue-free removal of the dried emulsion film - removes all bound dirt in a single, clean stroke.
Record Restored Sticker Label stickers for marking records that have already been treated - for clear management of larger collections.
Working principle - deeper than any machine

The emulsion is applied thinly to the rotating record surface and worked in. As it dries, it emulsifies fats, oils, pressing residues and other adhesive compounds from the groove structure. At the same time, electrostatically charged microparticles are neutralized - they lose their bond to the groove flank and are trapped in the resulting dry film. When the film is removed, all the bound dirt leaves the panel in a single pass: 100% residue-free, without fluid, without solvent, without recoating the grooves.

As the vinyl surface is hardly touched mechanically - no brushes, no abrasion, no high-frequency sonication - Record Restore is the gentlest cleaning process available for records. Particularly sensitive styli such as Micro-Line, Shibata or Micro-Ridge, which sit deep in the groove, benefit especially: the deeper the stylus, the greater the effect of a clean groove edge on the sound and wear. Even sensitive 78 RPM shellac records can be treated safely - a specially formulated formula is available for this purpose.

The antistatic effect - permanent, not temporary

Static charge is the most common and most underestimated cause of crackling, cracking and unwanted dust attraction. Antistatic brushes, ionizers and similar aids discharge the static temporarily - but they do not prevent the record from charging up again immediately the next time it is removed from its sleeve or the needle is placed on it.

Record Restore works differently: the treatment leaves a layer of positive ions on the groove surface that permanently prevents the build-up of new negative charges. A treated record can no longer become electrostatically charged - even after repeated playback. Even brand-new pressings, which carry a considerable charge from the manufacturing process and immediately attract dust from the air, are permanently neutral after a single treatment.

The following video impressively demonstrates this effect - on a brand new, untouched record, measured with an electrostatic detector:

Measured results

Record Restore does not rely on subjective listening experiences. Independent tests by audio experts using professional analysis software revealed the following reproducible improvements:

Increase signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) up to +11 dB (~75 % improvement)
Reduction of the peak noise level up to -8 dB (>50 % improvement)
Surface noise & crackle Significantly reduced, often completely eliminated
Channel separation & stage stability Measurably improved
Dynamic range Expanded by exposing original transients
Electrostatic charge Permanently eliminated - even over repeated playbacks
Application & efficiency

The entire device fits on a coffee table - no installation, no power connection, no follow-up costs for wearing parts. A panel is treated in around 3 minutes, and the drying film is removed in seconds. Thanks to the Stack Rack drying stand, up to 10 records can be prepared at the same time and cleaned in batches - ideal for larger collections or the first use after a record purchase.

Because Record Restore does not reuse cleaning fluid or cross-contaminate with brushes or cloths, every treated record is truly clean - not just relatively cleaner than before. The process is completely dry to dispose of, clean to handle and packs up quickly when the job is done.
