Keeping your vinyl clean makes a big difference in the sound quality and helps prevent additional wear. There are a few things we recommend. Get an anti-static carbon fiber cleaning brush. Use this ideally, each time you play a record or when needed to remove surface dust.  

If you want a deeper clean we recommend a wet cleaning.  Pick up some record cleaning solution (we carry Vinyl Style brand) or make your own. A DIY record cleaning solution is just:

6 parts distilled water
1 part isopropyl alcohol 91% (from drug store)
1 drop of clear dishwashing liquid

Lay the record on a soft cloth.

Dab a small amount of cleaning fluid on a microfiber cloth and wipe in the direction of the grooves.

If you have a larger collection or want a more advanced option we recommend the record washer from Spin-Clean. It’s a solid design that’s been around since the 1970s and costs around $80.

There are more expensive record cleaner options in the marketplace. We sometimes use an Ultrasonic cleaner for higher end LPs or LPs that need an extra amount of cleaning. We can clean your LPs with an ultrasonic cleaner for a cost of $5 per record. The cleaned LP will return in a Mofi type inner sleeve.
