CLEANING RECORDS
NOTE
Ultrasonic cleaning works by agi-
tating the cleaning liquid with high
frequency acouic pressure waves.
This creates a large number of
microscopic vacuum bubbles in the
liquid, a phenomenon called cav-
itation. With every pressure wave,
countless small vacuum bubbles
are created and collapsed, releas-
ing heat and water jets towards the
record. This action will safely loosen
and remove di and contaminants
from the record.
Ultrasonic cleaning as used in
Degritter removes contaminants
from records layer by layer. The
cleaning is equally rong on the
top of the groove and inside the
groove.
However, when records are covered
with a thick layer of gunk, it can
take ultrasonic cleaning some time
before the deepe layer of di is
reached. We therefore recommend
to fir wipe heavy suace di
away with a microfibre cloth. This
will speed up the cleaning process
and will give better results faer.
Wiping the record with a microfiber
cloth wet in record cleaning fluid or
isopropyl alcohol will speed up the
cleaning process when cleaning
extremely diy records.
