Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)?

I've thrown out my carbon fiber brushes. At best it simply pushes crap around the records (I believe anything a carbon brush would remove would not affect the play) and at worst, it's creating a static charge that attracts more crap to the record (yes, I know there are "anti-static" brushes, but I'm suspect).

I clean my stylus (primarily) with a Magic Eraser, but every now and then I'll dip it into some Fun-Tak (per the recommendation of the Sound Smith).

Good carbon fiber brush does work, one just needs to know how to use it properly. 

I clean every record before each play on a Loricraft. Most of my records have been cleaned dozens of times. But I am not anal about cleaning fluids etc. Any decent one will do. You only have to observe the dust in the air in your audio room as revealed by sunlight coming through the window to realize that any record exposed for more than a few minutes in a room will have debris on it so there is no point in going crazy.

I use Lyra stylus cleaner, it is claimed that this solution will not affect the glue. So far everything is in place, as far as I can tell, the needle is still where it should be. It cleans well too, and I think is anti-static as well. Excellent stylus brush included.

+1fjno4, the late AJ did a number on us for sure!  The first time I dropped in the groove I was stunned!
