Record-playing Rituals?

I'm curious what everybody's riuals are when listening to albums. How often do you clean the records? Every Time? How often do you clean and lubricate the stylus? Every time?

The VPI fluid that came with the machine covered the LP and also developed some suds. While the RR just sort of seems to clean and not cover the LP. Now what I do is sort of scrub the LP while it is spinning. I softly Scrub the grooves firmly but gently. This makes me feel better that I am cleaning better and gets full coverage of the LP. I have been doing this for a couple of months now with no damage to the LP that I can notice. Now I am wondering about writting a post for a recipe of homemade solution. Any ideas?

Really nice machine. But I also picked up a can of Gruv Glide. This seems like really incredible stuff. Can I do better?

These will be the deposits in your spent fluid. The other grunge will be left on the vacuum brush. That is why it is very important to clean the brush after each use.
