1. Carbon fiber brush 3-4 rotations with a slightly moist finger to compensate for drag on every listen, every side. I like to think I've mastered this technique so as not to put unnecessary strain on the belt.
2. Zerodust after a session when digging out my old vinyl; with new vinyl only once a week...
3. I'll blast it with compressed air at times before putting it back into my Diskeeper "Ultimate Audiophile Inner Sleeves." I only do this for my prize LPs (or when dust appears on the transfer back into the sleeve).
Four years ago I used the old Disc Washer D4 solution from back in my youth, thinking this was the proper way to "Care" for the vinyl. Only to realize I did more harm than good. I never use a brush on my needle. Ever.
When I'm hammered, all bets are off (I try NOT to listen to my records when really intoxicated).
