Maintenance Process
Systematic approach to collection preservation
Four-Stage Maintenance Protocol
Our maintenance process follows a structured four-stage protocol designed to address surface contaminants, ensure proper drying, eliminate static charge, and provide protective storage.
Each stage utilizes specific equipment and techniques calibrated for optimal results with vinyl materials.
Process Stages
Stage One: Ultrasonic Cavitation
Surface cleaning using ultrasonic technology that creates microscopic bubbles to dislodge contaminants from record grooves without physical contact.
Stage Two: Vacuum Drying
Controlled removal of cleaning solution and moisture using vacuum technology to prevent residue formation and ensure complete drying.
Stage Three: Static Discharge
Application of anti-static treatment to neutralize electrical charge that can attract dust and interfere with playback quality.
Stage Four: Precision Sleeving
Installation of protective inner and outer sleeves using archival-quality materials designed to maintain condition during storage.
Technical Parameters
Equipment Calibration
All equipment is calibrated according to manufacturer specifications and maintained to ensure consistent performance across all maintenance procedures.
Solution Formulation
Cleaning solutions are prepared using established formulas designed specifically for vinyl materials and applied according to standardized protocols.
Quality Control
Each stage includes verification procedures to confirm completion and identify any items requiring additional attention.
Process Documentation
Initial Assessment
Documentation of initial condition including visual inspection notes and condition ratings for each item processed.
Stage Completion
Recording of completion status for each maintenance stage with timestamps and operator notes where applicable.
Final Verification
Post-maintenance inspection and documentation confirming completion of all stages and final condition assessment.
