Cleaning Records

[rippa32]

I couldn't think of any extremely relevant place to start this thread. But anyway, I have started to collect vinyl records ad would like to know the best way to keep them clean as I have heard that alot of dirt and stuff gets in the grooves. Also I get dust on my stylus sometimes does anyone know how to clean that safely?

There are actual cleaning kits, those'll work best, of course.

Whats a good brand then?

I couldn't say, I don't do vinyls personally, though my dad and other people I know with them have had cleaning kits they use before every play.

[rippa32]

Do these kits include stuff to clean the stylus?

Cleaning vinyl is a piece of cake.

All you need is some vinyl cleaning fluid and a duster, then maybe a dust/static remover.

I think they're pretty easy to get hold of, I can't find my cleaning fluid at the moment so I can't give you a name...but its blue and smells nice...
