Vinyl records are very high maintenance and require a lot of care to keep them clean. It is very important to use a carbon fiber brush to remove dust and any small pieces of lint before you even listen to the record. A carbon fiber brush will also reduce the chances of your record collecting any additional lint or dust as it takes the static electricity right out. After listening to your vinyl record a few times you may notice that is has gotten dirty. It is a good idea to clean your records at least once a year to remove grease, dirt, and any other foreign particle that may collect on the record. The cheapest way to clean them is to make a solution of distilled water and isopropyl alcohol and apply it with a paper towel using back and forth motions. If price is not a worry than there are many machines available that are made specifically for cleaning records that will suck the dust off the record so you will never have to worry about scratches from cleaning again. These machines are also much faster and a sure way to avoid any scratches you incur from hand cleaning methods.
