Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab - Record Brush - MOFI MFSL

If you are hand cleaning your vinyl, this brush is a handy tool. It also cleans up really easy after each use. So far, it has been very durable brush.

These are great brushes, wet or dry! I have three, one for dry cleaning and two for wet cleaning. I originally bought for dry cleaning. Then bought a record dr vacuum cleaner so I tried wet. Well, the pad came unglued right away. I had seen reviews mentioning that so not surprised. The next morning after dry, the pad stuck right back on. It’s not dissolving the glue, simply releasing it. Since it’s made for wet cleaning, there appears to be a manufacturing issue. So, I grabbed a rubber band to keep the pad in place. Even without, the pad didn’t slip of slide off of the rubber. I read another review that mentioned the replacement pads stayed glued when wet. I may order just to test. I will amend this review if I do.Anyway, the band worked perfectly and I actually like the look. Plus, if I set down on the edge, it protects the pad from getting contaminated by any foreign objects that may be the surface. After I use for cleaning, I rinse with distilled water, press on a lint free cloth and the when dry, glue is sticking like new! I’m going to get another color rubber band so I can easily identify the two wet cleaning brushes, one’s for cleaner, the other for ultra pure water rinse. I use a different record doctor bristle type brush for the second cleaner in between. It’s a very effective combination!As other reviews note, a few threads will fray at the ends. No big deal, I have a pair of scissors to snip them off. Don’t pull them! After a few come loose, it stabilizes and rarely have to trim. Even with the glue and minor fraying, it’s an awesome brush. So, don’t send it back, get a rubber band and scissors and keep this little beauty. Hopefully they get the issues fixed in future production, but for now, I can deal with it just fine.

If you are patient, you can get good results with this. Using a good quality record cleaning fluid like L'art Duson or AIVS or somethign similar, and just fllow the grooves. The felt seems to track into them nicely, and get surprisingly deep. I've even had luck on removing old, stubborn finger prints from some records (which I have found to be the hardest thing to remove when they get to be 40+ years old).+The only con is that these do wear out... You can probably use it 20 times, then it seems to be done. I heard a rumor that the felts are replaceable... if that is true, that is a tremendous plus... I just haven't found them anywhere yet (though I havne't looked very hard).

Great product, it is the best record brush I have ever used.

Just received my MoFi record brush. I have used it wet with my Record Doctor VI. I’ve cleaned 5 records (both sides) so far and it has worked flawlessly and still looks like new. I’ve noticed less surface noise after using this as a wet brush with my Record Doctor VI. I haven’t experienced any of the problems that a few others have reported about the felt falling apart after first using it. So far I would highly recommend it. If anything changes I will update this!

Cleans well but doesn't include any wat to chean the pad. Also, the glue holding the fabric to the handle is failing immediately out of the box.

I read the reviews for this item before purchasing and saw that some reviewers had quality control issues with it. My unit arrived in excellent shape and has stood up to about a month's worth of use with no signs of wear. The surface is a velvet like texture of very short bristles that really get into the grooves of the record. It will bring out a visible line of dust even when used after a conventional anti static brush or microfiber cloth.One downside is that it will leave a line of dust where you stop on the record which can then be removed with anoth cloth or brush.It also is good for applying disc cleaner or distilled water if you use it. I am considering purchasing a second one so as to have one each for wet and dry applications.

I suspect that this is the premiere vinyl cleaning brush of this type, and it's just fine. It gets points for that. However, I've found others on Amazon that I like a little better in terms of the design, feel in the hand, and surface area of the material. I've found myself just not using this one in favor of the Eveo one I bought, which is a little more pleasant to use.
