Review: Good brush, bad instructions - This brush seems to work very well, but I think there is an error in the instructions. It incorrectly says the arrow on the brush should point "in the direction the record is turning," and it shows the record turning the wrong way. The correct instruction would be to hold the brush in the orientation shown (arrow on brush pointing counter-clockwise with respect to the record) and either rotate the record clockwise (as on a running turntable) or hold the record still and move the brush counter-clockwise around the record grooves. The latter method is somewhat tricky to do without your fingers touching the record surface, but is easier on your turntable's motor, especially if the record is very dirty. It is also helpful to gradually rotate the brush so that you begin with the leading edge in contact with the record and end up with the trailing edge (the instructions fail to mention this). The brush seems to work just as well as my old 1970s Discwasher D4 brush, but it is easier to use due to its uniformly rounded surface, lighter weight and easier-to-hold shape. It's also less expensive than buying a vintage D4 brush on ebay. (By all accounts, the newer D4 brushes are to be avoided.) I have not tried the cleaning fluid yet, but judging by the absence of odor it does not have a lot of alcohol like the current Discwasher D4 formula, so I think it's probably a good product. There is some debate about the amount of alcohol that is safe to use, so in recent years I've used a home-made solution of mostly distilled water with only about 5% isopropyl alcohol and the minutest trace of unscented laundry detergent. The AT6012 solution has even less alcohol odor than mine, so it should be safe to use. The ingredients also include another, unidentified "organic solvent," but again there is no detectable odor, so I guess there can't be too much of it, whatever it is. I would definitely recommend this brush, but be aware that the instructions show the record turning the wrong way.
Review: Shiny, clean records - I love buying used records, but often they are coated in dust and other artifacts. This tool is simple to use but very effective in removing that junk. Yes, the inner cap of the bottle is difficult to remove, but I managed it in one try - you have to dig your nail under it and then pull up. Be careful though, it will go flying and you may spill a little liquid. Then drop in liquid on either side of the velvet brush until you have used up one measurement. I found that dropping it in with the same light squeezes you would give an eye-drop bottle helped reduce spillage/overflow. Other reviewers complained about the small amount of cleaning liquid, but there are homemade refill alternatives (distilled water/isopropyl alcohol mixture) that you can find online. You do have to wait to make sure the velvet pad is then damp, but I found rubbing it with the brush cleaner (the blue strip on the storage base) helped to moisturize it faster. You then wipe the record in a counter-clockwise manner. At first, it seemed that I had just mushed the dust into one long pile on the record, but I found out that happened because my brush wasn't damp enough yet. When damp, the brush will pick up dust and you can rub it off with the cleaner. You are left with a beautiful glossy record! I found that I was able to clean at least 3-4 records (haven't tried more yet) with just one measurement of liquid so far, of course cleaning the brush off between uses. In particular one record that was very gritty and dirty I cleaned it and it sounded much, much better. I recommend this product to those who are new to vinyl and want to take care of their records. I'm not sure that it needs to be done very often. Perhaps a non-liquid brush should be purchased to dust off records in the meantime?

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does the cleaner contain alcohol?**
A: From Audio Technica:Cationic surfacantOrganic solventWaterIsopropl alcohol

**Q: Does anyone know the difference between this model vs. AT6012x (http://tinyurl.com/hxpw88r) ? And which one do they prefer & why?**
A: This one comes with the solution, which is $10 separately otherwise.

**Q: Do I need a record cleaning machine or will this brush/fluid do the trick?**
A: This brush & fluid seems to work quite well to keep records clean. I use the fluid on new records (to clean off any left-over release compound from the pressing plant) and any time the record looks smudged, and just use the dry brush for a quick dusting on every play.If you have really dirty records (used or very old/mishandled records) something with a fluid bath (like a Spin-Clean) might work a little better. I use the AT brush 99% of the time.

**Q: What's the double sided tape for?**
A: Wow, I never noticed the tape until now. I would guess the use of the tape is to mount the cleaning base. The tape fits inside the cutout in the base. Hope this helps.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works well, but instructions are whacked in more ways than one
*by D***. on October 7, 2012*

This product works very well and I'm quite happy with how clean it gets my records. But the instructions could really use some help. The brush has an arrow on one side that shows the direction the brush is to be moved relative to the record (either by manually moving the brush counterclockwise around a motionless record with the arrow side of the brush on the outside of the record, or by holding the brush steady and letting the record rotate against it). Easy enough, and the picture on the box attempts to show that, with the arrow side of the brush on the outside of the record and a big arrow drawn counterclockwise on the record intending to show the direction of the brush relative to the record. But that arrow on the record can easily be misinterpreted to mean the direction of the record itself, especially since most people will be holding the brush motionless while the record rotates beneath it, and because the text says "Gently wipe the record so that the arrow on the side of the Sonic Broom is pointing in the direction that the record is turning". Clearly the word "opposite" should precede the word "direction". The picture is for the first method (manually moving the brush on a motionless record) while the text is for the second method (holding the brush steady on a rotating record). There should be a separate picture and text for each method. Then there's the deficient method of getting the cleaning solution to the cleaning pad by dripping/squirting a "unit" of solution (4 ml) into two tiny holes in the handle and waiting for the solution to soak through. This wastes a lot of fluid (there are only 60 ml in the entire bottle), it's a pain to do, and having to wait is a real negative. It's a lot easier to simply put 6 or 7 drops of fluid along the brush pad itself near the leading edge (say on the 4th or 5th row of fibers back) and use the butt of the bottle to spread the drops evenly across the brush surface. Last but not least, the handle is too small and flat and it's easy to lose one's grip on it. A bit of experience brings the necessary delicacy of touch, but a sufficiently large or ergonomically shaped handle would make that unnecessary. I like to place the record on its inner sleeve (I use Mobile Fidelity Original Master Sleeves, which are one of the inner sleeves recommended by the Library of Congress) which is in turn sitting on the record cover and move the brush manually rather than have to worry about stretching the drive belt by using it on a rotating turntable. I clean the record in quarters, holding it down with my fingertips on the label, rotating the record by rotating the cover 90 degrees after cleaning each quarter. Once I've gone all the way around the record once or twice, I dry it by going around it again with the trailing portion of the brush. I clean the brush itself by wiping it in the opposite direction of the arrow against a cotton cloth. If I'm wearing a cotton t-shirt or jeans that works too :) I think that gentle pressure works best (otherwise I presume you'd be grinding the dirt into the record), the solution does most of the work, and there should be enough solution on the brush that when the brush is picked up from the record surface it leaves behind a wet streak (which is taken care of in the drying phase). One nice design feature of the brush is that the pad extends all the way up to cover both the leading and trailing edges of the handle so that the record is protected even if the brush is inadvertently tilted too far.
