It’s strongly recommended that you clean your vinyl regularly. There are two main reasons for this. One, for the obvious increased sound quality of your music and two, for the prolonged life of the vinyl itself. Dirt present on vinyl can build up to harmful levels, therefore, creating noises that you don’t want to be hearing as your records play. It also clogs up your turntable or record player and prevents it from working to its best capacity. Cleaning your vinyl can be as simple as running a microfiber cloth over it and doesn’t have to be expensive.
