Vinyl care..?
So i've just dug out all of my old vinyl from the garage after a year or so. (some absolute trance belters me obrian) but some of them are a bit dusty/dirty.
Whats the best way to clean them?

Soap and water! That's what I did. Just used a little soap, lint-free cloths and then rinsed under the tap. A drainer for dishes is just right for a load of records as they dry as well. Just got to be careful to not soak the centre much (will obviously lift the label) and to dry them vertically. Oh, and wipe with the groove, though a clean, soft cloth shouldn't damage them.

Wow, the options are endless in variation and price. You can buy a vinyl cleaning fluid that can be applied by hand, disco-antistat cleaner for £30 like this, http://www1.conrad-uk.com/scripts/wgate/zcop_uk/~flN0YXRlPTE3MDgxNTc1NTg=?~template=PCAT_AREA_S_BR OWSE&glb_user_js=Y&shop=UK&zhmmh_lfo=&zhmmh_area_k z=&product_show_id=345296&gvlon=&p_init_ipc=X&p_pa ge_to_display=fromoutside&~cookies=1&gclid=&cookie _n[1]=uk_insert&cookie_v[1]=8V&cookie_d[1]=&cookie_p[1]=%2f&cookie_e[1]=Sun%2c+22-Apr-2012+18%3a54%3a47+GMT&scrwidth=1366
okki nokki at about £400, http://www.okkinokki.co.uk/
VPI cleaner a grand or so, http://store.acousticsounds.com/d/32...eaning_Machine
Id look at the antistat, it seems to have good reviews, and a brush to keep on top of things. I have this one, http://www.chemical-records.co.uk/sc...?Track=VDUOPAD
