Cleaning is very important and works for me. A system as simple as a "Decca" type brush followed by "Gruv Glide" has been my standard for nearly twenty years. I can't think of a single record that has been degraded.
For really dirty records Keith Monks (if you can find one), VPI, and Nitty Gritty wet washers have worked very well for me.
Hope this helps and Happy Listening!
