Audio-Technica sonic broom record cleaner

Don’t you hate dirty records? I know that I hate them…intensely! When a record is dirty, it coats your stylus diamond-head and as a result, the dirt build-up will make your sound muddy and if enough dirt builds up, the stylus will skip. The dirt can always be cleaned off the record using the dish-washing liquid method where you drip the liquid on the record and clean it, after that wash off the soapy liquid with normal tap water. But what happens if you do not have dish-washing liquid handy? This is where this solution (literally speaking) from Audio-Technica comes in handy. You pours the liquid into one of the two holes on the brush (pictured above) and the brush will get wet. After that, you brush the top of the record and it will clean the record for you. It is not as intense as the dish-washing liquid method but it will work for a bit, until you get back home to wash it with the dishwashing liquid. I have used this method for a greater part of 20 years and I know that it works. It is not that expensive either so if you play records, get one for your DJ toolkit!
