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.

The Miltys I’ve owned where not user friendly and not that effective. My Furutech Destat II is works great and gets a workout before and after each side.

Tried GruvGlide years ago and it left residue on my stylus every time.

I’ve been using just 8 drops per gallon of Tergikleen in my current US cleaner setup. Then I take the lp from the cleaner to my sink and pour distilled over it then back on my (spinning) Vinyl Stack to dry. No visible residue

Had the original Record Doctor years ago and kept it for 20 years and sold it with all the Accessories for it. If you don't mind the noise and spinning manually, and once you become comfortable using it, it's a value performer.
