  • Does anyone have any recommendations for vinyl cleaning. I've brought a load of records back from my dad's and he's treated then with care, they're all in sleeves, have relevant clippings from the NME, been handled on the edge, but he's never owned a dust brush, and I've tried dusting them, wet cleaning with a magic sponge, wet cleaning with a microfiber cloth, playing through wet... And there just is tons of crap gathering on the stylus, I'm lucky to get through one track before any skipping?

  • For singles I'd use plain old-fashioned soap, a finger and lots of water, not so easy for LPs. Have you got a second hand record shop near you? They might do you a bulk deal on cleaning.

    An old mate of mine used to do the Saturday shift at Intoxica Records back in the day, he wouldn't shut up so when Nick, the owner, got fed up with his chat he'd stick him in the back cleaning records on the machine. Never failed to raise a chuckle.
