Let Main Street Vinyl Clean Your Records
Main Street Vinyl offers professional record cleaning in Burlington, NC — and it’s one of the best things you can do for your vinyl collection. Our ultrasonic cleaning process removes dirt and debris from deep within the grooves, delivering a level of clean that hand cleaning simply can’t match.
Whether it’s a 40-year-old record needing thorough cleaning, or a newly purchased LP that arrived unusually dirty from the manufacturing process, our ultrasonic cleaning service is here for you.
Main Street Vinyl provides an Ultrasonic Record Cleaning service using a gentle process that combines ultrasonic waves with distilled water to meticulously clean your LPs. Following the cleaning, we allow each LP to air dry naturally, minimizing any contact with the record surface, avoiding heat to ensure your record is ready to play immediately on your turntable or to be placed into a new sleeve.
The complete cleaning process (wash and dry) for each LP ranges from 10 to 30 minutes. Additionally, we offer to house each cleaned LP in a new paper sleeve for an extra $0.30 per album, while all original inner sleeves are reinserted into the album cover separately from the record.

We Cannot Guarantee Play Results:
We offer to clean your LPs using our professional Ultrasonic Cleaner, which effectively deep cleans the grooves of your records, removing dust, dirt, and particles that have settled.
However, we don’t offer LP repair. If your LP skips, we cannot guarantee the cleaning will fix it, although it might help. Worn, warped, or scratched LPs will unfortunately stay that way. We assure you that our process delivers an excellent, thorough clean, far superior to hand cleaning or using a system like a “spin-&-clean”. But we cannot promise that ultrasonic cleaning will improve the grade of an LP from VG or VG- if the condition is due to scratches or general wear.
