Vinyl Cleaning at ASV
We all have records from the garage, that you’ve bought at a yard sale, or that your dad gave you. Most of the time, they’re in questionable shape.
We can help with vinyl cleaning, getting those dusty grooves squeaky clean. Even warped records can usually be saved with a judicious application of heat and pressure.
We’ll do our very best to revive them, but not all records can be saved, so please keep that in mind.
We have two different vinyl cleaners that we utilize to make our used Vinyl the best in town. One device uses exclusively distilled water and ultrasonic bubbles. This allows us to get into the grooves of a record and break free any detritus that has accumulated over the years. This approach is somewhat unusual among other cleaning techniques.
Our other cleaner uses a more traditional approach, with a special vinyl cleaning fluid and felt brushes. While this device is less effective at getting into the grooves of a record, it does have improved benefits in cleaning the surface of the vinyl. Oil and grease build up are easily removed with this method.
We have recently acquired a new flattening tool that will help keep our used vinyl as close to fresh from the factory as possible. Sometimes, time has done more than add a fine layer of dust to your precious collection. Sometimes, the sunlight from the kitchen window is just a little bit too strong. Sometimes, we forget we bought a record and leave it in the hot car while we go to see a movie. We’ve got you covered. Bring us your warped records and we’ll set you straight. Some extreme cases can take a few passes though, so this is a longer process than normal cleaning.
