Carbon fibre brush before every play for dust. For a proper clean, distilled water with a little isopropyl alcohol and a tiny drop of surfactant on a microfibre cloth, wiping along the grooves, not across them. Rinse with distilled water and dry in a rack, keeping the label dry. Avoid tap water, it leaves minerals in the grooves. And no alcohol on old 78s, shellac doesn't like it.
