Storage & Care Tips for Slipmats

 Keep Your Turntable Performing at Its Best

When you invest in customised slipmats, you’re not just upgrading the look of your turntable—you’re enhancing sound quality, protecting your vinyl, and improving overall DJ or listening performance. Proper slipmat care and maintenance is essential to ensure longevity and consistent performance. Here’s everything you need to know about storing, cleaning, and replacing your slipmats.

 

How to Store Slipmats Properly

Correct slipmat storage is crucial to maintaining their shape and usability over time. Whether you use felt slipmats or cork slipmats, improper handling can lead to warping and reduced performance.

  • Keep slipmats flat at all times – Never fold or roll them, as this can cause permanent creases that affect rotation and tracking.
  • Store in a cool, dry place – Heat and humidity can damage materials and lead to warping or mold.
  • Avoid stacking heavy items on top – Pressure can distort the slipmat’s surface, impacting its grip and balance.

Proper storage ensures your custom DJ slipmats stay perfectly level, delivering smooth playback every time.
