a residue on the record surface that will gradually deteriorate the quality of
your record
Keep in a cool, dry place and store records in their sleeves and jackets
when not in use
Store records upright (on their edges). Records stored horizontally will
eventually bend and warp
Do not expose records to direct sunlight, high humidity and high
temperatures. Long exposure to high temperatures will warp the record

using a soft anti-static cloth(fig. 10) suitable for this application
