The biggest concern with using window cleaners on your vinyl records is ammonia and the second biggest is alcohol. You can and should buy a glass cleaner that is ammonia-free and alcohol-free if at all possible. This is because both ammonia and alcohol can eat pits into your vinyl.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ammonia is much more likely to cause this than alcohol but you do not want to use either if you can help it and you definitely do not want to leave it on your record. There is a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.windex.com\/en-us\/products\/ammonia-free-glass-cleaner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Windex Ammonia free<\/a>&nbsp;but we can not confirm that it is alcohol-free. We do know that&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Sparkle-20515-FUN20515-Glass-Cleaner\/dp\/B00SPM2Q1Q?crid=YEZXVR7CQW4L&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=sparkle+glass+cleaner&amp;qid=1613148393&amp;sprefix=sparkle+glass%2Caps%2C175&amp;sr=8-8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=vinylbro-20&amp;linkId=173946a3d1e1e53b9fe3e2a50d5aa001&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sparkle Glass Cleaner<\/a>&nbsp;is both ammonia and alcohol-free and have had several people tell us that is what they use.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you surf around the various forums online about vinyl records you will see this debate come up. Technically you can use glass cleaner or Windex on your vinyl records but it is debatable whether or not you should. A lot of vinyl users that have been around the block for a long time say that this is the only method they have used consistently. Some even report that they and their record shops just use Windex and paper towels. This sounds absolutely terrifying to us however people do it. This does not necessarily mean you should use it though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/vinylbro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/How-To-Clean-Vinyl-Records-With-Windex-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"How To Clean Vinyl Records With Windex\" class=\"wp-image-297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vinylbro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/How-To-Clean-Vinyl-Records-With-Windex-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vinylbro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/How-To-Clean-Vinyl-Records-With-Windex-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/vinylbro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/How-To-Clean-Vinyl-Records-With-Windex-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vinylbro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/How-To-Clean-Vinyl-Records-With-Windex-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vinylbro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/How-To-Clean-Vinyl-Records-With-Windex.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is It Safe To Use Windex On Vinyl Records?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are tons and tons of people that have used this method to clean their records. Some record stores use Windex with paper towels. Which we totally do not recommend. If you were going to use any form of a glass cleaner we would recommend a lint-free cloth like a microfiber cloth. Let&#8217;s break down the best and safest glass cleaner record cleaning method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Make Sure Your Cleaner Is Ammonia And Alcohol-Free.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because ammonia and alcohols with time can cause problems for your vinyl. Especially if not rinsed off after the initial cleaning. Ammonia can even eat pits in your vinyl which can not be repaired if left on your vinyl for an extended amount of time. If you are having trouble finding one that is alcohol and ammonia-free look for some&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Sparkle-20515-FUN20515-Glass-Cleaner\/dp\/B00SPM2Q1Q?crid=YEZXVR7CQW4L&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=sparkle+glass+cleaner&amp;qid=1613148393&amp;sprefix=sparkle+glass%2Caps%2C175&amp;sr=8-8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=vinylbro-20&amp;linkId=173946a3d1e1e53b9fe3e2a50d5aa001&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Sparkle Window Cleaner<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Spray The Cleaner On A Lint-Free Cloth And Not On The Record.<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>This is to reduce the risk of getting the cleaner on your label. The window cleaner could potentially damage the center label of your record. If you do get any on the label just remember to blot not wipe the liquid off of the label to reduce the risk of damage. The reason you use a lint-free microfiber cloth is that you do not want paper towel dust and lint being added back to the record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Wipe Gently In A Circular Motion With The Grooves<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to make sure that as you wipe the glass cleaner completely off that you are applying very light pressure and moving in a circular motion with the grooves. This is so you do not risk scratching the vinyl with the contaminants you are lifting with the cleaner and the surface dirt and dust. You want to make sure that you are as gentle as possible during this step.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Rinse Both Sides With Distilled Water After&nbsp;<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>The reason we think an important step is to rinse is that if there is anything else harmful in the window cleaner the rinse should remove and build up. It is important to use distilled or purified water for the rinse to remove any calcium, lime, or rust that could build up and deposit on your record from the tap or spring water. If you want to learn more about this we highly recommend this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/vinylbro.com\/does-water-ruin-vinyl-records\/\">related article<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Sit Out To Dry Completely Before Playing<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several methods to use for drying your vinyl but there are a couple we like and want to highlight here. Pat dry your vinyl with a link-free towel or cloth then leave it out to dry in a dish rack. A really great way to dry your vinyl that we also recommend for helping speed up the process is the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Vinyl-Vac-33-Cleaning-Attaches\/dp\/B014X2SXY0?crid=3IPAJPYIF726F&amp;dchild=1&amp;keywords=record+label+protector&amp;qid=1609871144&amp;sprefix=record+label+%2Caps%2C172&amp;sr=8-12&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=vinylbro-20&amp;linkId=df225ec27bfbce36b5474777eb8239f0&amp;language=en_US&amp;ref_=as_li_ss_tl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Vinyl Vac<\/a>&nbsp;used in combination with a small shop vac. Just make sure you use an old turntable or a lazy susan of some type so you can spin the record while vacuuming the water off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/vinylbro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dust-and-dirt-on-a-record-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"How To Clean Vinyl Records With Windex | Brush\" class=\"wp-image-296\" srcset=\"https:\/\/vinylbro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dust-and-dirt-on-a-record-1024x684.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/vinylbro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dust-and-dirt-on-a-record-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/vinylbro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dust-and-dirt-on-a-record-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/vinylbro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dust-and-dirt-on-a-record-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/vinylbro.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Dust-and-dirt-on-a-record.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Should You Use Windex Or Window Cleaning Products On Your Vinyl Records?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>So the next question that comes up after understanding the process of using glass cleaner is, should you? This is really a matter of personal preference. Some people really love the way glass cleaners clean their records. We do not recommend or prefer this as a method of cleaning. To us, we just feel there is too much risk involved with making sure you have the right kind of glass cleaner, that you do not get it on the label, and having to do the rinse.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Do We Recommend Instead Of Glass Cleaner? Record Cleaner and Record Cleaning Solutions&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several <a href=\"https:\/\/vinylbro.com\/cleaning\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/vinylbro.com\/cleaning\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ways to clean your records<\/a> and that&#8217;s a talk for another article but we do have a basic recommendation.

Even if you really need it to be a cheap method it should still be a good and not harmful method for cleaning your vinyl.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people are not going to just have alcohol and ammonia-free window cleaner lying around. This means you would have to order it or go to the store and in both scenarios, you could just buy vinyl specific cleaners in its place. So go for the water and soap instead. There is a great chance you have bottles or jugs of purified water in your home and if you do not have dawn or liquid dishwashing detergent then you may have a whole set of problems we can not help with!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just follow the water cleaning methods we laid out in this&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/vinylbro.com\/does-water-ruin-vinyl-records\/\">related article<\/a>&nbsp;and you should be ok.
