I use a VPI 16.5 and initial cleaning is with diluted solution from UHF concentrate (available from UHF magazine here) with the VPI supplied brush. This has sufficient detergent that no beading is seen. After vacuuming, a second wash with isopropanol, vacuuming, and then a generous rinse with distilled water and a NittyGritty brush and a third vacuum. GruvGlide is always applied, and the disk played straight away before inserting in a new sleeve. The sleeve is marked to show the record has been cleaned and treated with GruvGlide. I do use a second cork mat for the second side of each disk to avoid putting the clean side on a contaminated mat. Every few days I clean my brushes and the vacuum wand. Intermittently I clean the stylus with Last and a Benz Micro stylus brush. I also use a Zerostat and a Goldring Super Exstatic brush on the glass platter before playing. Once a disk has been cleaned like this, I may use the Goldring brush on it prior to playing if I can see anything on it, otherwise it gets played for a while before being cleaned again.
