Ortofon Record Brush

Available at Vinyl Sound in Toronto, Canada, the Ortofon Record Brush is an essential vinyl care accessory designed by the same Danish industrial design studio — Møller Jensen Innovation and Design — responsible for Ortofon's award-winning MC Jubilee cartridge, the Kontrapunkt Series, 2M Series, and the Concorde MkII range. Cleaning your records before every play protects your stylus diamond, lowers the noise floor, and extends the life of your collection. The Ortofon Record Brush removes dust and static safely and effectively, without risk of scratching the record surface.

Carbon Fiber Bristles + Anti-Static Design

The brush features two rows of tightly bound carbon fiber bristles — the material of choice for record cleaning because carbon fiber conducts static electricity away from the record surface as it lifts dust from the grooves. The injection-moulded body uses a conductive plastic that actively prevents static charge build-up, addressing one of the primary causes of dust attraction on vinyl. A protective shield clips over the bristles when not in use, keeping them clean and correctly formed between sessions.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I use the Ortofon Record Brush?

Place your record on the turntable and start it spinning. Hold the Ortofon Record Brush lightly against the record surface and allow it to rotate one or two full revolutions, moving the brush slowly from the outer edge toward the label. This lifts dust out of the grooves and sweeps it to the edge of the record. Slide the protective shield back on after use.

Does the Ortofon Record Brush remove static as well as dust?

Yes. The carbon fiber bristles and conductive plastic body both dissipate static electricity from the record surface as you brush, reducing the static charge that attracts airborne dust back onto the record after cleaning.

Will carbon fiber bristles scratch my records?

No. Carbon fiber bristles are extremely fine and soft — far gentler than the record groove walls themselves. They are the standard material used in quality record brushes precisely because they clean effectively without applying enough pressure or friction to cause any surface damage.

How often should I clean my records with the Ortofon Record Brush?

Before every play. A quick dry brush before each listening session removes the surface dust that would otherwise be pushed through the grooves by the stylus, which causes both audible noise and accelerated stylus and record wear.

Is the Ortofon Record Brush suitable for all vinyl records?

Yes. The Ortofon Record Brush is safe for use on all standard 12", 10", and 7" vinyl records — LPs, EPs, and singles — regardless of pressing era or condition. It is a dry-brush tool and does not require any cleaning fluid.
