How to Properly Store Your Precious Jay Chou Vinyl Records.
To maintain the advantage of top cashd vinyl record resale,proper daily maintenance is crucial. If you currently do not plan to sell,it is recommended to follow these physical record care methods:
- Store Vertically: Absolutely avoid stacking vinyl records horizontally,as this will cause irreversible warping due to heavy pressure on the records below. Always arrange records vertically on sturdy shelves,just like books.
- Temperature and Humidity Control: Taiwan has a humid climate,so it's recommended to store records in a cool,well-ventilated area,away from direct sunlight. The ideal storage temperature is 15°C~25°C,and humidity should be controlled between 45%~50% to prevent mold on records or dampness on covers.
- Regular Cleaning: Before and after playing,use a professional carbon fiber anti-static brush to remove surface dust. For fingerprints or stubborn stains,use a dedicated vinyl cleaning solution with a microfiber cloth,gently wiping along the grooves.
- Replace Inner Sleeves: It is recommended to replace the original paper inner sleeves with anti-static semi-circular film inner sleeves. This can effectively reduce static electricity and minor scratches caused when removing records.
