Cleaning Your Turntable


So what do you all do to clean your turntable?

And I am not referring to the Stylus, I mean the TT itself and the dust that accumulates on your platter (well platter I'm sure is easy to clean) but the platform and around your tonearm, etc.

I have a Mo-Fi Table and since it's black, it's easy to see the dust around. I don't want to be using some type of small duster or cloth because I want to avoid physically touching as much as possible.

We all know how sensitive the TT is and once you get it tuned just the way you want it, fumbling around tryin to clean it can throw things off.

I was thinking compressed air or a small fine brush perhaps to get around with more control but what do you all think?

Thanks

Forgot to mention I use two different types of micro fiber cloths.

For dusting I use the thick/nappy ones (we have 3M) and for cleaning/polishing I use the thin finely woven (slick) type that come with my eyeglasses.

Recently discovered that using the thin ones (along with a few drops of vinegar) safely removes patina/buildup from the sides of my ceramic kitchen knives.

Also use the thin ones to clean CD's.
