Using this record brush is easy. Just gently run the brush over the surface of your vinyl record in a circular motion. Make sure to cover the whole playing area to get rid of dirt and dust. As you use it, it will also take care of static electricity. When it comes to maintenance, keep the brush in a clean and dry place. Avoid bending the carbon fiber bristles. If it gets dirty, you can gently clean it with a soft, dry cloth. Don't use any harsh chemicals as they may damage the bristles. Also, remember this is a limited - edition item, so handle it with care.
