Hello. Perhaps this topic has come up before, but I just now joined here so possibly I didn’t see it.

I have started using GrooveWasher to clean some vinyl LPs; however, I have been having a problem.

I first spray on the fluid and let it sit for 20 ~ 30 seconds – sometimes a little longer. Then, I wipe the record down with a microfiber cloth until it’s dry – or at least it looks dry.

When I try to play the record after cleaning, there is A LOT of “crackle” which I assume to be static. Also, some “gunk” collects on the stylus.

I believe I am probably either doing something wrong or missing a step? I followed the instrucytions on the GrooveWasher website.
