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


All my records have been cleaned at least once, but after play, I'll drop it in my Klaudio ultrasonic cleaner for a quick re-clean. I figure if my stylus is digging / loosening anything in the grooves, it's a good opportunity to get that junk out of there. How about you?

Budget option: I get remarkable results using London Jazz Collector's DIY cleaning solution and a 3D-printed home vacuum attachment I purchased off eBay:

I clean new & used records on an as-needed basis. 

Add Blue Sticky Tack for stylus cleaning (every 5 or 6 spins), dryer sheets, and an anti-stat brush, and you'll have clean records for a song. 



I first used L'Art du Son on my Keith Monks. Then I used Walker 4 Steps enzymes and the Keith Monks fluid for re-clean from time to time. After that I tried AIVS and liked it better than Walker especially for a less "dry midrange".
now I have bought a KLAudio but kept the KM (because I 😍 this machine). 
Now all my record collection is washed first with enzymes and second with ultrasonic.
Recently I bought again a bottle of L'Art du Son for periodic re clean and find it is best sounding when I make a final clean with it. It is not expensive and if you let the fluid for 2 minutes on the record it cleans really well. And more than that it makes music sound really good to my ears.

I came across this ultrasonic cleaner, reviewed by Fremer on his web site,  Analogplanet. Even though I have a VPI 16.1, I am considering one of these in the future. I really like the advantage of being able to clean 12 records at a time. The price is considerably less then other ultrasonic on the market, and you can purchase options/attachments separately.
@bradf - you might look at Rushton’s thread here, which is based on an article he wrote for Positive Feedback. There is a relationship among size of bath, number and power of transducers, frequency, etc. viz surface area of records to be cleaned. (Sorry, I don’t remember the formula--it is buried in the long thread on DIY Audio about ultrasonic cleaning). @terry9 can speak to his experiments with the number of LPs in the bath v. cleaning effectiveness.
The bonus to DIY isn’t just cost-effectiveness either. You can take advantage of higher frequencies, heat control and other features that aren’t necessarily offered on the audiophile machines.
