Homemade vinyl cleaning: Easy and effective!

How to care for your vinyl records without going crazy: key accessories

If you have a vinyl record collection, you already know that it's not enough to just shove them away in any corner and forget about it. No, my friend. To keep them sounding perfect, you have to pamper them a little. But don't worry, you don't need a whole arsenal of them. With a few well-chosen accessories and some basic habits, you can keep them looking like new for years. We'll tell you all about it here.

The first step: where do you store them?

Before we talk about cleaning, think about this: where are your records right now? If they're stacked, tilted, and collecting dust, don't be surprised if they make creaking sounds or if the cover art is scuffed. A good vinyl record stand is the first step.

If you're looking for something stylish and functional, we recommend the V BOX : a solid wood box that keeps your records upright, well protected, and with that decorative touch that looks stunning in any room. Another gem is the Vinyl Batea , perfect if you want to keep your favorites in plain sight. Minimalist, sturdy, and ready to take center stage.

The essentials to keep them looking like new

Here's the basic kit for cleaning and preserving your vinyl records without complications.

Microfiber cloth

A must-have. Ideal for removing dust without scratching. Give it a quick wipe before and after playing, and you're done. Just make sure it's lint-free.

Carbon fiber brush

The classic. Eliminates dust and static electricity in a single stroke. A quick swipe every time you put on a record, and you'll save yourself a lot of trouble.

Vinyl cleaner

Forget homemade tricks. Use a specific cleaner, spray a little, wipe it with a cloth, and you'll have clean, shiny vinyl.

Cleaning machine

Do you have a large collection or are you a fan of deep cleaning? Then a machine (manual or ultrasonic) is for you. Yes, it's an investment, but it ensures professional cleaning without leaving home.

Record player needle brush

The needle also needs care. A special brush removes accumulated dust and improves the sound quality with every playback. Don't overlook it.

Protection that makes the difference

Antistatic inner covers

They protect against dust, moisture, and, above all, static electricity. Essential for keeping vinyl clean even when you're not using it.

External covers

They cover the cover and sleeve, preventing scratches and dirt. They add style and maintain a flawless presentation.

V Break Support

Want to show off the record you're currently playing? This metal stand is ideal. With its "Now Playing" tab, your collection not only sounds great, it also looks spectacular on your shelf or table.

Padded carrying case

If you carry your records around, you need more than just a bag. A case with a handle, zipper, and interior padding protects your collection from bumps and drops without compromising style.

Extras that make the difference

• Disc repair kit : for small scratches that can still be saved.
• Antistatic for vinyl : prevents dust from adhering like a magnet.
• Hygrometer and Thermometer : Monitor the climate of your collection. Ideal for protecting delicate records on floating shelves or wall shelves.

And where to store them?

Your collection deserves more than just an old box. A good vinyl rack or a stylish modular system not only protects your records, but also makes them a part of your decor. Check out our options at Keep Them Spinning , from stands to floating shelves that take your space (and your music) to the next level.

With these essentials, your collection isn't just preserved: it's enhanced. Because the care is evident in every reproduction.
