Getting and keeping records clean................

Hello,

I have my turntable on the way and my vinyl collection growing weekly. I am thinking I will need to get a record cleaning machine to enjoy vinyl to its full potential. What RCM are recommended by you? Is it possible to clean records by hand effectively? I wonder if I can clean my collection by hand now with disc doctor or similar and brushes? I plan on getting a record cleaning machine but it will probably take a little while before I can swing the dough for one. Any help would be greatly appreciated such as which cleaning solution to use and brushes and their source. Thanks again.

Congragulations on your new RCM the VPI 16.5. I think that most everyone on this site owns one or did at one time. I also put my vinyl into rice paper sleeves after cleaning, another expense but the way I figure it is that it comes in direct contact with the grooves should be static free.
You will get years of enjoyment out of your cleaner.
Happy Listening
