All things vinyl — vinyl record cleaning fluid refill

When people think about making record cleaning a little more environmentally friendly, the obvious temptation is to look for a new product with greener packaging, a different bottle or some other eco-friendly feature.

Sometimes, though, the greener option is much simpler. If you've already got a perfectly good record cleaning spray bottle, brush, cloth or pad, the most sensible thing may be to keep using it.

You don't need to replace the whole kit just because the fluid has run out.

Reuse the things that still work

A good record cleaning kit can last a long time. Spray bottles can...

If you've already got a vinyl record cleaning spray bottle, brush or cloth that does the job perfectly well, there’s no real reason to replace the whole kit just because the cleaning fluid has run out.

In most cases, the simplest answer is just to refill the bottle and carry on using the equipment you already have. That can be particularly useful for record collectors, because once you've found a cleaning routine and a set of tools you like, you probably don't want to keep buying the same accessories again and again.
