5.0 out of 5 stars The best brush you can get for clean records, August 10, 2007

This little gem is a great bargain. No brush is more effective, but you need to use it correctly.

Most importantly, if your record is dirty, do not contaminate your brush with it. You will harm both.

This brush is for new and washed records between plays.

First, hold the brush nearly perpendicular to the record surface, with a slightest of bends with the turn. Wipe the tips the long way GENTLY across a cloth. Do this with the record turning on the turntable and do not press. Twice around does the job. This pass removes any relatively large particles and cat hair.

Then, point the tips of one row AGAINST the direction of turn at a someshat acute angle, as if you were shaving off a thin slice. This does the deep groove cleaning of dust that records attract. Clean the brush as before. Notice how much is left on the cloth.

If you have dirty records, get a liquid cleaner, or at the least, purified water. But every record player needs one of these brushes. Highly recommended!

5.0 out of 5 stars LP enthusiast "must own" tool!, November 25, 2008

This is a must have for LP enthusiasts. Sure I have a Nitty Gritty cleaning machine and a plethora of other equipment to clean and maintain my records. This little jewel, however, is a necessity for a quick dust off here and there before playing. It cleanly and efficiently wicks dust and small particles out of the precious LP grooves. If you otherwise maintain clean records this will keep that last second dusting from interfering with your listening pleasure. Somewhat smaller than I anticipated it is nevertheless a great size for sweeping the moving LP surface and the bristle guard/handle doubles as a very effective bristle cleaner simply by rotating it forward and back over the microfiber bristles themselves.

At it's price there is no reason for anyone who plays LPs to not own this little beauty.

4.0 out of 5 stars A decent purchase, February 8, 2008

This brush does more or less what it says it does. It's useful for lifting stray fibers and dust off of your records, but not much more. It is certainly not a product for cleaning dirty records. The instructions are extremely vague, and one should expect to have to figure this thing out on their own. Even still, it isn't that difficult to use. The brush is a decent purchase in the end due to the fact that there isn't much else out there that could do its job.
