Grammy Rap Nominees 1999

Your vinyl records are built to last generations, if your treat them right.

Handle: Always handle your records by the edges and label to avoid damage to the grooves.

Cleaning: Use a carbon fiber brush before every play to remove dust, and for deeper cleaning, use vinyl-specific cleaning solutions with a microfiber cloth.

Storage: Store records vertically in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight—never stack them flat, as this can cause warping.

Playback: Keep your turntable stylus clean and replace it every 500-1000 hours of play to prevent damage to your records. And always return vinyl back to sleeve after play.

Taking these simple steps will keep your vinyl sounding great for years to come!
