Overcoming Cleaning Frustrations

Posted by vanmeterannie (A) on September 24, 2007 at 05:06:54

I've had a Nitty Gritty for 20+ years - bought it when I was in high school - and have lately taken to scrubbing with a lint brush and using the Nitty Gritty to vacuum. This works fine with my homebrew fluid, and I'm pleased with the results.

However, I find that I tend to listen to the same records I've cleaned over and over again, as I don't want to take the time to clean something new prior to play as it disrupts my mood. I need to figure out some kind of cleaning routine, I guess, but I can't wrap my head around a solution.

What do you do? Get your cleaning materials out in one place and spend a few hours cleaning at a time? Clean a few discs prior to a listening session? I'm sure others know what I'm talking about, and I'm just wondering what works for most. I have a lot of junk store buys that I wouldn't play without cleaning, but I don't normally clean before each play if it's already been done.
