Using this record slipmat is easy. Just place it on your record player before putting on a vinyl record. This will help the record spin smoothly. When handling the slipmat, be gentle to avoid tearing the felt. To keep it clean, you can use a soft brush to remove dust regularly. If it gets dirty, you can lightly wipe it with a damp cloth and then let it dry naturally. Avoid using harsh chemicals as they may damage the felt and the Bowie image.
