Vinyl Care

I just got a new turntable and cartridge after not having one for years.

I need a recommendation for a relatively inexpensive record cleaner.

I really never took proper care of my records,and would like some basic advice on how to keep them clean on a regular basis.

I also need some guidance on care and cleaning of my cartridge and stylus.My currant cartridge is a Rega exact.

Please know that I don't have a big collection of valuable records,just a bunch of old rock recordings amassed over the past 50 years.

I have started buying some new records,but only select prized albums that I have lost or have been worn out.

Thanks.

I didn't try his Stylus cleaner, I use Lyra with seemingly excellent results.

In fact, treated records even sound a touch better, I did compare a few, And I use Last tape head preservative with my Nakamichi deck. This is a great stuff, but you have to apply it frequently.
