How often do you folks vacuum clean your albums?


To all you vinyl people out there: I am curious to know, after you have cleaned an old album, then put it on your vacuum machine (I am using a VPI unit), how often do you reclean it with your vacuum cleaner? I have heard answers from "every time I play it", to "only once, then just a carbon brush".

Thanks

Rsacco : Do not forget the suggestion to steam clean LPs. That alone will change the sonic landscape , you'll never go back and for good reason.
Rsasso : Please review the Deep Steam Cleaning thread detailed below. Lots of invaluable information regarding the Steam Cleaning Method. Any other "Q's" send them.
Rsasso: Great discussion. As for me I steam clean & use a RCM . As long as my LPs are stored with new inserts & clear vinyl covers a cleaning can last years with a few sweeps of a anti-static brush before playback. You should consider the addition of steaming to the cleaning process. Big difference. All the best
