Rekkord Audio RCM Clean Delivers Safe, Ready-to-Use Vinyl Record Cleaning
Rekkord Audio RCM Clean is a pre-mixed, alcohol-free cleaning solution formulated specifically for vinyl and shellac records. This high-purity fluid combines demineralised water with a precisely balanced cleaning concentrate, engineered to lift surface contaminants without damaging delicate grooves. Designed for both audiophiles and archivists, RCM Clean provides a gentle yet effective way to preserve the sonic integrity and lifespan of analogue recordings.
RCM Clean Uses Non-Alcoholic Composition to Protect Record Surfaces
RCM Clean is an isopropyl alcohol-free solution that safeguards vinyl and shellac from the long-term effects of chemical abrasion. Many conventional record cleaning fluids rely on alcohol-based agents, which can strip protective layers or deteriorate shellac's brittle structure. Rekkord Audio’s formulation avoids these pitfalls by using only non-flammable, non-toxic, and environmentally safe ingredients—ensuring each cleaning cycle is both safe for your collection and sustainable.
RCM Clean Incorporates High-Purity Components for Audiophile-Level Results
RCM Clean uses laboratory-grade, demineralised water as a base medium, eliminating mineral residues that could leave behind conductive traces or static buildup. The cleaning concentrate mixed into the fluid operates at an optimal dilution ratio to dislodge fine dust, oily residues, and mould deposits. This high-performance formula penetrates microgrooves while evaporating cleanly, leaving no sonic imprint or residue.
RCM Clean Offers Versatile Sizing for All Cleaning Needs
RCM Clean is available in three volume variants—250ml, 500ml, and 1000ml—tailored to different usage scales. The compact 250ml bottle is ideal for occasional or travel-based maintenance, while the mid-size 500ml option suits regular users with moderate-sized collections. The full-litre 1000ml variant supports heavy-duty cleaning workflows, particularly for collectors with extensive vinyl archives or professional-grade record cleaning machines.
RCM Clean Supports Record Cleaning Machines and Manual Application
RCM Clean integrates seamlessly with vacuum-based record cleaning machines (RCMs), ultrasonic vinyl washers, and manual brush-cleaning methods. Its balanced viscosity ensures even application and quick drying, enhancing machine efficiency while preventing excess moisture exposure. Whether used in a Pro-Ject VC-E, Okki Nokki, or Rekkord RCM system, the fluid optimises cleaning cycles with minimal effort.
RCM Clean Aligns with Archival Standards for Long-Term Record Care
RCM Clean aligns with the preservation requirements of archivists and collectors maintaining rare shellac 78s or valuable first pressings. Its inert, pH-neutral composition meets archival-grade specifications, ensuring no chemical interaction with label adhesives, dyes, or lacquer coatings. This archival reliability is particularly crucial for historical preservation, where chemical integrity must be maintained over decades.
RCM Clean Enhances Playback Fidelity by Removing Sonic Obstructions
RCM Clean actively removes groove contaminants that contribute to pops, clicks, and high-frequency distortion. By restoring contact between stylus and groove, the fluid unlocks finer detail retrieval and improves channel separation. Audiophiles report reduced noise floors, richer tonal depth, and improved stylus tracking following regular use of RCM Clean, especially on older or second-hand records.
RCM Clean Prioritises Environmental Safety in Every Drop
RCM Clean is 100% biodegradable, free from volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and packaged in recyclable materials. Its non-toxic formula allows safe handling without gloves, making it a suitable choice for households and studios alike. This eco-conscious approach supports a clean sonic experience while respecting broader environmental responsibilities.
