    Are you using something like Discwasher on your brush or are you using it dry?

    White paper jackets will do that. Use your dry brush before each play.

    And so you see, I have come to doubt
    All that I once held as true
    I stand alone without beliefs
    The only truth I know is you.

    Depends how deep you want to go down the rabbit hole.

    I use a vacuum record cleaning machine with MOFI solution for each album I get (including new ones). Then put all albums (even new ones) in a MOFI sleeve and save the original sleeve.

    Before each play I hit the album with the dry brush and the stylus with the Onzow Zerodust.

    Every week or so I do a more thorough cleaning of the stylus, with a solution and brush.

    Any combination of these things will help you're playback and extend the life of your albums and stylus.

    Wow dude, that's intense.

    I take mine out and play them :(. Haven't cleaned shit ever. I'm lazy. I blame the weed.

    Yowza, hardcore, lol! ;) I am also too lazy for all that. Spin Clean when I get the album, and that`s it until they look dirty again. Plus an occasional dry brush of the stylus. Plus replace the stylus every couple of years.
