Thanks. This method didn't work too well for me. I resorted to using the magic eraser as a brush of sorts, and it got most of the gunk off. But for some reason just dropping the needle wasn't catching anything.

I dont have a method.. never done it (Im new)
But everyone gives different recommendations so its scary to pick a cleaning method.

I've tried a few different methods: brushing right before playing, the cheap kit from the big-box store, Spin Clean, and most recently, Squeaky Clean. I've never had any of them make it worse than when I started.
Even the folks that did report things getting worse in the old place were able to fix it. The only method I've heard of that can cause permanent damage is wood glue—don't do that.
Don't be afraid to pick one. People have had good results with every method mentioned here, and most methods have minimal risk.

My question is: can I report an avatar for gross indecency?
I almost reported on IG but I thought that @Lee Newman was probably reporting a lot of VMP posts and didn't wanted to cause him any more troubles

this 100%The debates about cleaning are insane. Although I went the Squeaky Clean route, reading and research was enough to make me feel immobile, too. So I get you, @Believer101 .
IMO, the #1 rule is to just handle your damn records properly! I've adopted a bunch of my dad's records, and all he ever used was D4 fluid and a Discwasher brush. They sound and look fantastic because he handled with care.

I cant see any real "dirt" or crap on my records.
Its mostly little pieces of paper atm which I just put up with.
But yeah getting one of these cleaners is fast approaching for me. Cant push it back much longer

Not to confuse you even further, but carbon fibre brushes are great for brushing crap like that away. Audioquest makes a good one.

I have a VPI that I got for a really cheap deal on Amazon awhile back. I use a combo of the MoFi Super Deep Cleaner and Super Record Wash. Was wondering though how long people leave on Super Deep Cleaner before vacuuming and using the wash? I have heard a lot of varying opinions on the matter but was wondering if anybody has a go-to method for it?

The best cleaning process in the market.
