Why goat hair of all things?

No, we have nothing against synthetic fibers. Quite the opposite. Nevertheless, we have relied on a natural material for decades: real goat hair. It is used in the brushes of our record washing machines as well as in our new Quick Care Brush for quick dry cleaning.

Why?

It's simple: Because goat hair has proven to be particularly gentle and at the same time extremely effective in numerous tests.

Why does the brush material even matter?

When cleaning a record, it's not about scrubbing as hard as possible. The decisive factor is rather to remove dirt from the fine grooves without damaging the sensitive vinyl surface.

This is where real goat hair shows its special properties.

Numerous tests with a clear result

During the development of our cleaning systems, different brush materials were compared.

Again and again, the same picture emerged: Brushes made of real goat hair achieved particularly convincing results in the fine record grooves.

They work particularly gently on the vinyl surface, penetrate deep into the grooves and reliably pick up loosened dirt particles.

For this reason, Knosti still uses only real goat hair brushes – a feature that distinguishes our cleaning systems from many other solutions on the market.

The ideal complement to ultrasonic cleaning

Even with the Disco-Antistat Ultrasonic 2.0, the brushes play an important role.

The ultrasound loosens dirt particles from the fine grooves. The goat hair brushes then reliably pick up these loosened impurities and thus support the entire cleaning process.

In short:

Ultrasound loosens – goat hair picks up.

Precisely this combination ensures particularly thorough and at the same time gentle cleaning.
