I have gone about 3 years now since hitting all mine.. And most albums I have played around 10 times at least in the main rotation which just sound better each time its played and never show signs of needing a cleaning physically or sonically.. But I did originally clean them on a VPI 16.5 with RR Superwash, than hit with distilled water, and then stored in only anti static very thin, lightweight, no paper particle, sleeves, mostly all made by mobile fidelity.. never need anything again accept maybe a quick shot once in a while from these Milty guns and a carbon brush.
And yes just keep your stylus clean after each play resulting in digging up any small stuff that may have stuck to the surface.. 99% of the time I would not know I am not listening to a CD, just because they make no noise..
Once cleaned I think purley careful storage and maintenance will prevent from ever needing a wet clean or vacuum again.
