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.

Another Almost Never. I have both a Loricraft and a Nitty Gritty, and it's probably been a year since I last used either one. I do clean LPs that are really dirty but for normal records including most Ebay and used record store purchases, I just follow my regular routine of brushing each record with an antistatic brush and wiping the stylus with the brush that came with my Benz.

How we spend our leisure time obviously differs from one person to the next. For me this one is pretty simple: Time spent cleaning records is time spent not listening to them.
