VPI 16.5 question. I haven't gotten to use mine much (been away for work) but I'd like to clean both sides before plyaing. I tried this once and noticed that the side on the cork mat had a ton of what looked like paper scraps on it. I'm guessing from shipping. Should I just use a dry microfiber cloth to wipe the cork mat or is there some other voodoo I need to do so I can clean both sides of an album?
You can use a lint roller on the platter to remove any debris that may be on it.
