Important Notes on Ultrasonic Restoration
Ultrasonic cleaning removes contaminants such as dust, oils, and debris from record grooves but cannot repair permanent groove damage or scratches. Some surface noise may remain if the record has existing wear or physical damage.
Extremely dirty or mold-contaminated records may require additional cleaning treatment. Results can vary depending on the condition, age, and previous handling of the record. Proper stylus condition and turntable setup also play an important role in playback quality.
