Antonin, some good advice there, Moths are good if you have the time, for the quick clean your solutions are useful (on the fly dj'ing)
I swear by these. I've had records in them for 20 years and they're the best, trust me ...
**Nagaoka No.102 Anti-static Record Sleeves** (Qty 50) £14.95 / €19.90

*"Static is generated all around us and builds up very easily on the vinyl your valuable record collection is made of. This static charge attracts dust and fluff that will stick to the record surfaces, waiting to be collected by your stylus tip the next time the record is played. The dust can also scratch the record as it is taken out of or put back into a record sleeve. Designed and manufactured by Nagaoka in Japan, these superior quality No.102 sleeves are subjected to a special static prevention process and are therefore not susceptible to the generation of static electricity. The sleeves are designed to fit an LP beautifully and can be used inside existing picture or lyric sheet sleeves, inside normal printed paper sleeves, or on their own as a complete replacement of the original inner sleeve."*
You can find them in certain Hi-Fi shops - the type that sell high-end audiophile equipment rather than the DJ kit. Or you can search online.
Can't see why these American ones wouldn't do the job just as well ...

These Sleevetown guys do some lovely 7" sleeves too but the shipping + customs clearance to the UK would kill me!
