- 1). Check older records that have not been played for some time for signs of mold or mildew. Clean new vinyl records that are being added to the collection.
- 2). Remove any dust or dirt particles first before proceeding with any further cleaning. This avoids driving the dirt particles further into the grooves of the vinyl record.
- 3). Hold the vinyl record by the edge and on a slight angle. Aim the canned air aerosol can toward the vinyl record. With short blasts of canned air, spray the entire record. Turn the record over and repeat the process.
- 4). Use a mild soap and water solution with a clean, soft rag or a premoistened hand towel to wipe off any vinyl records that require a light cleaning. Dry with a chamois or soft cloth.
- 5). Clean vinyl records that have grease or grime on them with an alcohol solution. Dilute three parts water to one part rubbing alcohol. Wipe the vinyl record dry with a chamois and soft cloth.
