We were so excited when our daughter Jamie gave Fran this Seasonlife turntable for our vinyl records. We have quite a collection of vinyl records from the 1970s and 1980s and couldn't wait to dig them out of storage.
We knew before we could play them on the new turntable these old records would need to be cleaned. So, I began searching for an affordable cleaning kit and found the Big Fudge Record Friend.
What's Inside the Big Fudge Record Friend Kit?
- Vinyl cleaning solution that's gentle on records.
- Microfiber cloths to avoid leaving fibers behind.
- Cleaning basin and rollers to make it easy to wash to records.
- Drying rack to keep records upright and air-dry safely.
- Label protectors to prevent water or cleaners from touching the labels.
I had no idea how often you should clean your vinyl records. So, I looked it up and found a good rule of thumb is every 90 days. I always use one of the microfiber cloths to wipe the record before every use.
If you have a vinyl collection that you want to keep in great shape this kit does a nice job.

It has been years since we have had a turntable and the ability to play our favorite record albums, but I do remember the record cleaning tools we had. Nice to know they are still available for those beloved albums (my favorites being folk groups such as The Kingston Trio and Peter, Paul & Mary. Thanks, Sam.
ReplyDeleteReally? I had no idea we should clean our vinyls every 90 days. I haven't actually played one of my vinyl records in years, but good to know that I need to clean them, as well as what product to use, when I decide to pull them out again. Thanks for the review, recommendation and information on cleaning vinyl records.
ReplyDeleteThat turntable sounds like the perfect gift for you and Fran! So glad you found a gentle yet effective cleaner for your beloved vinyl collection.
ReplyDeleteGreat review Sam, cleaning your records makes them sound so much better when they are played. We learnt this a while back and now we never play them without cleaning them first. The sounds are incredible when the record is clean! Thanks for this great tool to keep them that way!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds a brilliant kit for cleaning those wonderful vinyl records and great for your collection. Thank you for sharing your experience with it. We sadly don't have any vinyl now but we are tempted to start buying some and maybe one day we will get a record player again as the sound is special.
ReplyDeleteThat's a handy kit to have on hand - one of our sons has many of our vinyl records, and this would be a great gift idea for him as well - I hadn't heard of this before your article :)
ReplyDeleteWow, sounds like the perfect gift for vinyl record lovers!
