Keith Monks Record Cleaning Machines and cleaning solutions can be found here!Keith Monks launched the world's first electric record cleaning machine in 1969, setting the benchmark for professional and archival vinyl care.
Their machines have been trusted by major libraries, broadcasters (including the BBC), and serious collectors for over five decades.
Keith Monks machines use a point-suction system: a precision arm applies cleaning fluid, then vacuums it away one groove at a time, ensuring all contaminated fluid is removed without recontamination.

They can clean a wide range of media, including 12", 10", and 7" records, as well as CDs and Blu-rays.
The machines are hand-built in the UK and use heavy-duty, medical-grade components for durability and consistent results.
