About Vinyl Panda Eco-friendly Record Cleaners

My love for vinyl records began with my father, an electrical engineer who passed down his passion for quality music and his deep knowledge of records and turntables. Growing up, I was surrounded by the tunes of Supertramp, Dire Straits, Pink Floyd, Jean-Michel Jarre... This early exposure to high-fidelity music instilled in me a deep appreciation for the art of sound and the unique warmth that only vinyl can provide.

As a vinyl enthusiast and audiophile since 1993, I’ve always searched for the perfect way to clean records and achieve the purest, clearest sound possible. However, I found that most available record cleaning machines and methods were either not effective enough or, if they were, they came with a hefty price tag. Additionally, I discovered that common cleaning methods, like ultrasonic cavitation, could actually be harmful to records over time.

These challenges led me on a five-year journey of extensive research into the field, approaching the issue from a different perspective than others. My goal was to create a machine that delivers top-of-the-market performance without the premium price. By working alongside a PhD chemist, I also developed a cleaning solution that is both effective and gentle, using eco-friendly materials that protect your records and our planet.

With Vinyl Panda, I wanted to provide an affordable, innovative solution for vinyl care that doesn’t compromise on quality. My passion for vinyl, combined with my experience and knowledge in the field, inspired me to create machines that are unique in design and approach, allowing every vinyl lover to clean their records gently, effectively, and sustainably.
