Generic cleaning/fluid applicator brushes


Hello All...

I am on a tight budget with regards to acquiring accessories since my return to vinyl.

I am interested in alternate cleaning and fluid applicator brushes rather than the expensive (read over-priced) "boutique" ones available for Audiophile applications.

We have the equivalent of Home Depot here in AU (Bunnings) and one stroll down the paint aisle and I see a myriad of brushes and paint pads on display; some cheap and some inexpensive.

Has anyone had success with generic cleaning brushes? If so, what type are you using? Natural or synthetic fibre? How about the coarseness of the bristles? Soft/hard? I am interested in your recommendations.

Thanks,

Jan

Lint brush by everclean can be brought at walgreens for 3 bucks. It has microfiber bristles (directional like the old discwasher only stiffer) that works well. I have also been using the lint mitt (same company) for scrubbing lps. I have a diy rcm system that i use the mitt instead of the diskdoctor brush(also very good but more expensive).
A cheap but effective solution of 28 ounces of distilled water, 4 ounces of 100% alcohol and 1 teaspoon of plain dawn dishwashing detergent. I also have an enzyme cleaner concentrate that i use instead of dawn.

I strongly recommend a steam cleaning regiment also having been a recent convert to this technique. for 20 bucks you will improve the effectiveness of any cleaner just by steaming.
