To keep vinyl and imitation leather covered books looking good as new, wash them periodically with a mild detergent and then treat with a light coat of petroleum jelly or a vinyl dressing. It is easy to clean lightly soiled records on the turntable.
Gently hold a clean dust cloth on a record and allow the disc to turn at least 3 revolutions under the cloth. You'll be cleaning with the grooves, not across them, and so won't damage the record. Treat leatherbound books periodically with a light oil so that the leather won't dry out and
crack. If you arrange books at the front of shelves, air will be able to circulate and prevent mustiness.
Protect books from direct sunlight, because it can fade the bindings and cause them to deteriorate. In order to remove grease stains from books rub the affected areas with soft, white breadcrumbs. Sprinkle damp book pages with talcum powder or cornstarch until the moisture is absorbed, then shake or brush the powder away.
