  • 1.25" shop vac attachment for cleaning 12" vinyl records. It has a great snug fit on my Bauer 3.5 gallon cordless shop vac.
  • I cut strips from a microfiber cloth and attached them to the bottom of the attachment to protect the record during cleaning. I would also recommend putting something around the spindle to protect the label. (I use a little felt washer)

There are videos online on how to create a cleaning station from a lazy susan, a screw, and some self liner. I would recommend creating something like that rather than cleaning directly on your turntable.

How to use:

  • Apply record cleaning solution to the record and use a brush (I use a paint edger) to spread the solution and clean the record.
  • Next, apply some distilled water to help rinse the cleaning solution. I use a 4" foam brush to brush the water around the record.
  • Finally, put the record cleaning attachment on your shop vac, put it over the spindle and turn it on. Carefully spin your record a few times in both directions to vacuum up all the water and debris. You should now hopefully have a clean record.
  • Flip the record over and repeat the above step again for the new side.

NOTE: This is a prototype. I am not responsible if any scratches, scuffs, or damage occurs to your records while using this attachment. Use at your own risk!

 

If you print your own please upload some photos, I would love to see them!
