Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)?


All my records have been cleaned at least once, but after play, I'll drop it in my Klaudio ultrasonic cleaner for a quick re-clean. I figure if my stylus is digging / loosening anything in the grooves, it's a good opportunity to get that junk out of there. How about you?

Budget option: I get remarkable results using London Jazz Collector's DIY cleaning solution and a 3D-printed home vacuum attachment I purchased off eBay:

I clean new & used records on an as-needed basis. 

Add Blue Sticky Tack for stylus cleaning (every 5 or 6 spins), dryer sheets, and an anti-stat brush, and you'll have clean records for a song.
