wash batches of lps OFF the turntable while listening to clean ones.
then, after clean, all I deal with is paper dust from inner sleeves, or airborne dust on the surface, not in the grooves. I have a large lint free cloth like a giant camera lens cleaner. I lay it lightly on the LP, turn the platter by hand, a simple lift of the dust, play.
No more habitual anti-static dust brush, i.e. discwasher. no squirting fluid and being to impatient to wait for thorough dry.
have a peek at my system photos, around the 10th one shows my manual batch cleaner. 10 lp. the drying rack is the thing.
I scrub aggressively with a baby scalp brush (amazon, 3 pack), use the lid of a Chinese soup container to protect the paper label, and the bath is rinse only, distilled water. my mix, kit cleaner, add more alcohol, add a few drops of dishwasher anti-spotting i.e. jet-dry as a surfactant.
