Protect Your Vinyl While You Clean It
Stop risking scratches by cleaning records on hard surfaces or wet turntable platters
Sound Familiar?
You're protecting your vinyl collection, but cleaning them shouldn't mean risking damage. Here's what most collectors struggle with:
Scratching Delicate Vinyl
Damaging or scratching delicate vinyl records when cleaning them on hard or unprotected surfaces
Wet Turntable Platters
Turntable platters getting wet or dirty when attempting to deep clean records while they are on the player
Unstable Cleaning Surface
Small or unstable cleaning surfaces making it difficult to properly handle 12" LPs during the cleaning process

Common Questions
Yes — the dual-layer design offers both protection (suede top prevents scratches) and absorption (terry cloth bottom soaks up fluid) that standard towels can't provide. Standard household towels can bunch up, shed lint, or provide a hard surface underneath that risks groove damage. This mat is purpose-built with a circular shape that won't bunch and materials specifically chosen for vinyl care.
No — the mat is fully hand and machine washable. Many collectors wash it after every 10-20 records or when visibly dirty. Simply toss it in the washing machine on a cold cycle and air dry. The durable microfiber construction is designed to withstand repeated washing, making it a long-term investment that pays for itself.
Absolutely — the 16" diameter (40.6 cm) easily accommodates 12" records with room to spare for handling. It also works perfectly for smaller 10" records, 45s, and 78s. The circular design matches the record shape, preventing the bunching issues you get with rectangular towels.
Yes — the mat works with all vinyl cleaning solutions including GrooveWasher G2 fluid, Spin-Clean, LAST, Disc Doctor, and even DIY cleaning methods. The terry cloth bottom is highly absorbent and designed to handle liquid runoff from any cleaning system you prefer.
