Does an ultrasonic record cleaner damage vinyl?

No. When used correctly, ultrasonic cleaning is considered one of the safest and most effective methods for cleaning vinyl records. The cleaning process removes contaminants without physically touching the record surface.

What cleaning fluid should I use?

For optimum results, we recommend using only de-min water with a surfactant to break down surface the tension of the water. This breaks down surface tension of the water allowing it to get into the bottom of the record grooves.

How to remove dust and dirt without harming the vinyl record or damaging the surface?

The easy way to clean records without any harmful chemicals is with Ultrasonic Record (Vinyl) Cleaner. This non-contact cleaning method doesn't use liquid solutions that can leave nasty deposits in the grooves.

Which is the best ultrasonic cleaner for vinyl records?

Any 6 Ltr or 10 Ltr ultrasonic cleaner is the best size tank for cleaning vinyl records. A model with digital display and degassing is better because you can see if the water temperature is getting too warm.

How long do I put a record in the ultrasonic cleaner?

The record cleaner rotates at 2 RPM and only and only around 30% of the record face is submerged at any one time. I would suggest trying a cycle time of around 30 minutes.

Ultrasonic Record Cleaner for Vinyl Records

If you're looking for the best ultrasonic record cleaner to restore your vinyl collection, you've come to the right place. Whether you're an audiophile, a serious record collector or simply want to enjoy the best possible sound from your favourite albums, our range of ultrasonic record cleaning systems removes dirt and contaminants that conventional cleaning methods simply can't reach.

Unlike traditional brushes and manual cleaning kits, an ultrasonic vinyl record cleaner uses millions of microscopic cavitation bubbles to gently clean deep inside the grooves of your records. This process safely removes dust, grease, fingerprints, mould, smoke residue and other contaminants without damaging the vinyl surface. The result is cleaner records, reduced background noise and improved audio performance.

Why Choose an Ultrasonic Record Cleaner?

Every time a record is played, dust and microscopic debris become trapped within the grooves. Over time, this build-up can cause pops, clicks and unnecessary wear on both your records and stylus. An ultrasonic record cleaner offers one of the most effective ways to restore vinyl records while helping to preserve their condition for years to come.

Our ultrasonic record cleaning systems are designed to provide professional-quality results with minimal effort. Simply mount your records onto the supplied rotating spindle, place them into the ultrasonic bath, and allow the machine to do the hard work. The gentle rotation ensures every part of the record is cleaned evenly while the ultrasonic action reaches areas that brushes cannot.

Professional Cleaning for Your Vinyl Collection

Whether you're cleaning a handful of treasured LPs or processing an entire record collection, our record cleaning machines deliver consistent, repeatable results.

Our systems are ideal for cleaning:

12-inch LP records
10-inch records
7-inch singles (with compatible spacers where applicable)
New vinyl before first play
Vintage and second-hand records
Audiophile and collector editions

Using an ultrasonic vinyl cleaner before first playback can also remove manufacturing residues often left behind during the pressing process, helping your records perform at their very best from day one.

Deep Cleaning Without Damage

Unlike abrasive cleaning methods, ultrasonic cleaning is completely non-contact. Tiny cavitation bubbles form and collapse thousands of times per second, gently lifting contamination away from the grooves without physically scrubbing the record surface.

When used with the correct cleaning solution and distilled or demineralised water, an ultrasonic record cleaning machine provides outstanding cleaning performance while remaining safe for regular use.

For optimum results, we recommend using only de-min water with a surfactant to break down surface the tension of the water.
