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 tried the RD, and found it lacking. I ended with a Pro-Ject vacuum unit. Wet application with stock brush is lacking, but I got a stuffer brush form another big brand (can’t remember), and feel I can dislodge even heavy dirt. I use a carbon fiber brush before and after each play for daily maintenance. one rescues some messy used records with this system.
