How to achieve the best cleaning results with your Knosti device Clean records. Better sound.Dust, static electricity, or old residues can quickly impair the sound of vinyl. With the right techniques and proper use of your Knosti cleaning device, cleaning results can be significantly improved – and your favorite records will stay in top shape for a long time. To ensure you consistently achieve optimal results with your Knosti device, we have compiled the most important tips for you. 1. Fresh mixture for best cleaning results Thanks to the paper filters, the Knosti cleaning fluid can be used multiple times. This is practical and sustainable. However, as soon as the mixture becomes cloudy or foamy, it should be replaced. Only with fresh cleaning fluid will your Knosti device achieve a clean result without residues. 2. Dose the mixture correctly A common mistake is overfilling the basin. Only fill the mixture up to just below the MAX mark. This keeps the label protector dry and reliably protects the label of your record. Especially when using a Knosti device, the correct filling quantity is crucial for a clean and safe cleaning result. 3. Let records dry completely After washing, the record should first drain briefly. Then remove the label protector and let the record dry completely in the drying rack of your Knosti system. Depending on room temperature, this can take some time. However, this patience is worth it: only completely dried records ensure an optimal sound experience. 4. Maintain brushes regularly The goat hair brushes of your Knosti device should be cleaned regularly to keep them soft and effective. Simply rinse the brushes with BiDest water after cleaning and then let them air dry. This way, your Knosti device remains powerful and delivers consistently good results. 5. Keep the Knosti device clean After use, it is recommended to briefly rinse the basin and not leave any cleaning fluid in the device. This way, your Knosti cleaning device remains clean, hygienic, and ready for the next wash cycle at any time. Conclusion: With Knosti for consistently better sound With every thorough cleaning, vinyl lasts longer – and music sounds as it was intended: clear, warm, and vibrant. If you use your Knosti device correctly, use fresh mixtures, ensure clean brushes, and let the records dry completely, you will get the best out of your vinyl collection. Knosti – Vinyl care you can hear.

Dear vinyl fans, What does proper record care mean to you? Does it have anything to do with perfection, expensive high-end technology, or complicated rituals? Our answer: not necessarily. Good record care begins above all with a conscious approach to handling vinyl. To ensure your collection sounds good for a long time, some simple basic rules have proven effective in practice: 1. Cleanliness pays off – with every record Whether bought new or found at a flea market: what looks clean isn't always. A thorough cleaning almost always pays off. 2. Remove dirt – do not spread it Dust belongs in the groove, not deeper inside. Simply wiping it dry is usually not enough. 3. Vinyl likes it cool Heat, direct sunlight, or even a hairdryer can damage the record. Gentle air drying at room temperature is the better option. 4. Respect for the groove Handle records by the edge and the label – not on the playing surface. Fingerprints will be audible later. 5. After cleaning: a clean inner sleeve A freshly cleaned record should not be put back into a dusty sleeve. New inner sleeves provide lasting protection for the sound and surface. 6. Antistatic properties make the difference Statically charged records attract dust almost immediately. Antistatic care ensures that the sound remains stable for longer. 7. Don't forget the needle. Even the cleanest record won't sound good with a worn stylus. It's the most sensitive – and crucial – element in the entire playback chain. In short Record care is less a question of technique than of attention. Those who regularly clean their records, store them correctly and handle them carefully will be rewarded: with less crackling, better sound and a collection that will still bring joy after years. 🎶 So simple. So effective. And in case you're wondering how we know this: At KNOSTI, everything has revolved around record care since 1976. We know what vinyl needs to sound great for a long time – and we're happy to show you how easy proper care can be.
