Cleaning records. How often really?


Suppose, they have just been machine-cleaned and are played maybe two times a month in a regular environment.
Also treated with Last record preservative and kept in sealed outer sleeves.
Once a year or so?
Just don't tell me before each play, yeah, I heard of this insane approach.

Last is crap only clean record when they are very dusty.All my records have been cleaned on VPI 17F now using KL AUDIO which is the best.
"And how do you know that the first cleaning was perfect unless you clean again?"

Just use your ears...unless they need cleaning...

Almost never.... I use a Hunt brush before playing. I have a Nitty Gritty, but only use it to get peanut butter off of the record if I find some.

Gravity suction cleaning machines work better with peanut butter - especially crunchy.
What a cute breed some of you are. I suppose, you never clean your shoes either or maybe once. Ebm sounds like a true New Yorker to me, there are truckloads of people like these around here.
Albert, thank you, you rarely write these days, but when you do it is always good.
