"Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better!


I"m using a spray 'advanced vinyl record cleaning solution' with a cleaning cloth.

It creates GUNK in the grooves which can be fixed by cleaning the needle 5-7 times during playing one side..  It gets into the grooves and fixes the problem.  I'd rather find a better way to clean the discs. Sounds dumb, I know. 

What am I doing wrong?

Please Help!!

These comments from vinyl enthusiasts have convinced me that I have achieved an ideal audio system. The total cost of this system was about $1000, maybe less. The listening process is simple. I just lay down horizontally on the couch with my head on a pillow and cover myself with a light blanket. I plug the speakers into my iPad, select something on Amazon Music, and away I go.

 

My speakers are Monsoon MM-700. They're a plannar magnetic, nearfield design, and sound great! They are arranged in an ideal nearfield setup, as you will see in the photo. This arrangement is so effortless that you might call me lazy. And that's alright with me! 😊

...I tried to post a picture here, but it didn't work. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
