Record-playing Rituals?

First I wash my hands and get the water temperture just luke warm then I use dilluted non-phosphate bio degradible green friendly liquid castle soap. I really like the Lilac diluted to about 63 parts water to 1 of soap. I use the pads of my fingers and wash with a circular groove flowing motion under a slow stream of water going across the record. I do the same for side two before laying the record down on a fresh soft egyptian cotton terry cloth towel on the velour side fold the towel over and pat dry softly.

At my turntable I have the same type of towel rolled for a quick dust if needed before play.

Jimi,

What would you say is a good humidity for the home in general
I have lots of books and wooden guitars plus those records of mine.

The house is all wood with forced water radient heat under wood planks combined with forced water base boards.

I'm keeping the upstairs loft @ about 45 -50% humidity and about 65 deg where the guitars are kept The loft looks out on a cathedral pine clapboard ceiling peaking at 40 ' .
All together It's a very big room with open space about 1400 sft, I have another humidifier in the L shaped living listening area downstairs. In the winter it often goes below zero outside and as far down as 40 below sucking all the moisture out of the air.

I know humidity affects static as well as mold whadayathink would be good

Thanks
Groovey
