Album Care Instructions

Easy Care for Keeping Your Vinyl Records Sound Their Best

  • Handle records by the edges and label whenever possible to avoid fingerprints on the playing surface.
  • Store albums upright on a sturdy shelf. Avoid stacking records horizontally for extended periods, as excessive weight can cause warping over time.
  • Keep records away from direct sunlight, excessive heat, humidity, and rapid temperature changes.
  • Use a carbon-fiber or anti-static brush before playback to remove surface dust.
  • For deeper cleaning, use a record cleaning system designed specifically for vinyl. Avoid household cleaners, paper towels, or abrasive materials that may damage the record surface.
  • Always return records to their inner sleeves after listening to help protect them from dust and scratches.
  • Keep your turntable stylus clean and in good condition. A worn or dirty stylus can affect sound quality and potentially damage your records.
  • If you're building a collection, consider replacing damaged paper sleeves with quality archival inner sleeves for long-term preservation.
  • With proper care, vinyl records can provide decades of listening enjoyment while preserving the music, artwork, and history that make collecting so rewarding.
