Best brush for cleaning records?
 

Choice of

1. Carbon fibre brush
2. Antistatic velvet
3. sticky roller (Ok not a brush)

My 30yr+ velvet brush looks like it's placing more dust on the vinyl
than removing...

Easy - No. 2 the antistatic velvet.

On this subject, check this out:

The same thing (OK, no plastic bottle) from a 'bulk buy' of 25 lt DW and
5 lt Isoprop costs me 70p...

(Check out the seller's other items - never seen such ********. 70 quid
for a bit of bent perspex....???)

For day-to-day use I tended to use 2 - or some variation like a parastat.
However the 'Dust Bug' remains the standard item for me when I need to keep
dust off the LP. I still have a variety of the old 'Watts' items. I tend to
find the Dust Bug works best if you remove the end-brush and just use the
cylindrical plush pad.

FWIW I noticed that the CPC catalogue lists some cleaning items for vinyl
LP 'for DJs'. Might be worth your while trying these.

Have you tried cleaning your existing brush, though? I find that the LP
cleaning kit I bought decades ago still works OK - or at least, as well as
when new. :-)

Slainte,

Jim
