Everyone who owns records must know by now that records need to be maintained in a clean
condition in order to sound their best and to preserve the quality of their fragile
surfaces. Record cleaning devices operate on a number of different theories and
principles, but they all have one thing in common: they do NOT totally clean all the
pollutants from record grooves. They leave film, grease, residue, micro dust, static
electricity, carbon fiber hair, and mold release compounds behind. These remaining
pollutants prevent the record owner from hearing all the music on the record, regardless
of the quality of the playback system! And they cause premature wear of the record and
phono stylus.
Until now, no available record cleaning system was accepted by professionals and enthusiasts alike as producing the desired result: clean records. No single system was able to rid a record's surface of film, grease, residue, and dust while it eliminated static electricity and left a purified vinyl disc.
Nitty Gritty now offers such a system. Records
cleaned on a Nitty Gritty system reproduce all the music stored in their grooves without
the interference and masking of record pollutants. The improvement in sound that a Nitty
Gritty cleaning makes is so dramatic that the benefit of upgrading one component [of a
hi-fi system] is less significant by comparison. The Nitty Gritty record cleaning system
has established itself as an essential component in every hi-fi system.
The first step of the Nitty Gritty record cleaning process is to scrub the record with a special fluid wash.
Nitty Gritty offers two record cleaning washes.
PURIFIER 2 is the stronger cleaner, capable of overpowering the most stubborn residue or grease. It contains a degreaser, a static neutralizer, a mild detergent, and surfactant. PURIFIER 2 has a remarkably low 6 parts solid per million dissolved solids, making it residue free.
PURIFIER 1 is recommended for 78 RPM records as it contains no alcohol. Both Purifiers are formulated from chemicals that are totally biodegradable.
The Nitty Gritty VAC-SWEEP brush has thousands of
microscopic fibers that gently scrub the record's grooves. Its short bristles make the
most efficient use of Nitty Gritty's special cleaning fluids, and its softness protects a
record from abrasion.
The second step of the Nitty Gritty record
cleaning process is to vacuum the scrubbed record. This is accomplished with a Nitty
Gritty vacuuming machine.
Possibly the most unique part of the Nitty Gritty system is the "hemicylindrical lip
interface". Through these fiber covered lips, the vacuum motor suctions a dry path
across the entire grooved surface of the record. The shape of the lips serves to minimize
contact with the record as well as maximize the velocity of the air, utilizing the
"venturi effect". The VAC-SWEEP™ [fibrous cloth liner] provides additional
scrubbing while it cushions contact with the record, protecting the fragile record
grooves.
The record is supported on the rotating platform which is designed to eliminate any
contact with the record grooves. This removes the possibility of recontaminating the first
side cleaned, while cleaning the second.
The vacuum motor is directly coupled to the lips, providing the most powerful, effective
design possible. The motor is an industrial grade, flow-through type, providing the user
with trouble-free cleanings.
