I certainly am more careful with my records now than in the past. I have at one time or another cleaned all of my records which count over 1200. When I play them, I have a light over them where I can see dust and fine hairs. Before turning the turntable on, I dust them off. About every fifth record I play I clean of the stylus.
I have abandoned all paper and plastic sleeves for soft fabric like sleeve that offers easy entry.
