Basically, I just googled "flatten warped records" There are a variety of methods. It seems temperature has more to do with this than storing albums vertical or horizontal.

Some just place the record at the bottom of the stack and over time the weight of the other vinyl flatten it out. Most of the DIY methods involving applying careful heat and placing the warped album between two sheets of glass (1/4" or thicker), then letting it cool to a flat pancake. You do have to be careful, not to get things to hot as this can ruin the grooves. You can use the sun outside, however, an oven provides a more even heat.

I will practice with an album I don't care so much about.

One method..

Years ago when I had vinyl, I just used water and
dawn dish detergent and a soft cloth. I did this for years and never experienced any problems with this method.

Same here but I always hand dry with the grooves with a soft towel to eliminate any pops and ticks caused by possible water spots. More labor intensive but worth it.
