    I have posted before but i still face the same issue. I tried microfiber and the Spin Clean cloths and every time after I'm done cleaning i see lint on the records. Can you guys tell me how can i get rid of the lint after I clean the records?

    Lint-free microfiber (the kind that appears smooth and is suitable for cleaning glasses, not the fuzzy-looking kind), and don’t launder, just rinse with distilled water and hang them to dry.

    Or, what I ultimately did was get a vacuum system to dry, which led to just ditching the Spin Clean the past few times I have cleaned records.

    I agree the lint is from your microfiber cloth. Buy better ones. I would actually do research into this for affordability and claim of being lint free. I would suggest starting with auto detailing forums.

    Is there anyone here who can recommend me a good microfiber cloth?

    After US cleaning and final rinse in my Spin Clean I dry with Spin Clean cloth, but before playing I use Mobile Fidelity: Record Cleaning Brush to get rid of anything that might be left on the record. Works really well for me. :righton:

    Distilled water does not remove the oils from your skin, which come from contact and from fingerprints on LPs.
