Vinyl Records Collector Dog Picture

Packing Your Records For Storage

Every vinyl record collector has a choice of what type of method he or she is comfortable with when using a liquid for purpose of cleaning and taking care of your vinyl records. Some collectors uses washing up liquid to clean their vinyl records! However, its a good practice to always keep your vinyls clean! Also packing your records for storage is of the utmost importance. Under no circumstance should you lay your vinyl records flat on top of each other. That method will surely damage the grooves!

There Are Choices - But To Each His Own!

The simplest effective methodical cleaner is a carbon-fibre brush. The fibres bring out the dust from the bottom of the grooves, whilst a felt pad collects it. Using fluid cleaners as an alternative only removes the surface dust. The antistatic gun is a anticipatory method. It shoots a stream of electrically charged atoms onto the vinyl record surface, neutralizing static electricity which would otherwise attract dust. Antistatic cloths are not very effective, and often a waste of money. But then again each vinyl record collector has their own method for cleaning their prize vinyl records, therefore, to each his own!
