dust protection for turntables

Is there no end of suppressed opinion regarding perhaps the most boring of all audiophile obsessions? There’s another recent and active thread for this commentary. Use it if you like it. I don’t and won’t.

It is OUTRAGEOUS that these expensive Turntables are sold without dust Protection. Shamefull!

Mine would have to be 22 X14 X 16 (W D H) I doubt wifey would like it very much and I certainly don't want to deal with an acrylic cover that big. . Its not hard to dust it off with the paint brush which I keep. nearby. I also have an air tank which I can use to blow it off. No problem. BTW it beats that $6 canned air

Then there is this which I have considered

No cost solution for those who only want to protect the platter when not playing LPs is an old, warped, or otherwise damaged LP.  Everyone has at least one of those.

OUTRAGEOUSLY BEAUTIFUL!!!!

I have two very high end turntables, a TW Acustic Raven AC and Transrotor Fat Bob Reference.  I use a fabric similar to silk but not nearly that expensive that I purchased at a fabric store, think it was Joanne Fabrics. Very inexpensive and works great.  I cut it to size so it cover the entire turntable but you need to apply a type of glue around the edges to prevent it from fraying.  I don’t know what it’s called but the fabric store sells it.  And yes you need to take care putting it on and taking it off but with reasonable care you should not have a problem.  
As a side note I also use the same coverings for my tube amps.
