Hopefully you're replacing the old inner sleeves with a new Poly lined and or Rice paper sleeve, that is unless the present inner sleeve is already on eof the premium types.

The old inner sleeves are made of cheap acidic papaer they will decompose steadily they are surprizingly abrasive (the real source of most scuffing) and the dust they shed is dinner for unwelcome Microbrial life which in turn is the food source for tiny critters
that look like something out of a 1950's low budget Japanese monster flick anmd cause pops and clicks etc.

If you used a fresh inner sleeve, maintain a clean stylus and use Carbon fiber brushes, don't serve Pizza on your LP's etc. there is rarely if ever a need to Re-wet clean an LP again ever.

Some folks use little stik-em dots, I use various magic marker colors on the corner of the poly outer sleeve to denote what type of cleaning was done, ie. black is wet clean/vacuum, Red=Mold release
removal etc.

Relax and enjoy the tunes.
