The newly announced Spin-Clean record cleaning system is available for $79.99. Spin-Clean International, creators of the Spin-Clean Record Washer, has launched an education program specifically designed to inform young vinyl music enthusiasts about the importance of cleaning and maintaining their record collections. The announcement coincides with the first major upgrade to the company’s record cleaning product.
The new Spin-Clean consumer program is based upon research conducted in 2022 by MusicWatch, a U.S. research and analytics company. Among the study’s key findings were that an estimated 18 million consumers purchased vinyl records during 2021, which was a 27% increase over the previous year. Moreover, nearly 46% of these purchasers were between 18 and 34 years of age (the fastest growing vinyl music segment).
Spin-Clean points out that when asked why they haven’t played or intend to play some of their vinyl records, over 43% of the poll’s respondents said that, “they want to preserve or keep them in pristine condition for their collections.”
“Our newest product upgrade is much more than a refresh”, states Mark Mawhinney, president of Spin-Clean International.
“We’ve taken a closer look at this major shift in vinyl ownership and listened to our current customers as well, to ensure that this new Spin-Clean model remains the most popular record cleaning kit on the market.”
