I've always considered the safe treatment of vinyl records to be preventative rather than remedial. If the record becomes damaged, then it's "game over" to me - time to replace the disk.
So I take care of the albums I have by storing them appropriately in a temperature controlled environment, handling them properly when getting them out to play them, cleaning them properly before playing them, and only using a high-quality turntable with a good stylus set at the right tracking weight and anti-skating force.
