Hi, you should look at the forum on vinylengine.com for info on this. There are lots of ways to clean LPs. Some quite simple like using non-concentrated Dawn dish soap and water. It gets more complicated from there. I personally use an ultra sonic bath type cleaner (with a water, wetting agent, drops of Dawn and some isopropol alcohol. This is followed by a distilled water rinse and a vacuum dryer. It will take a really grimy LP and make it quite nice in a matter of minutes. A popular LP cleaner is "SpinClean" Google it. For about $75 you get all you need to do about 100-150 LPs. Refills are cheap as well. It works pretty well.

Hi, thanks for the information. I'll look around for more info. I see some methods are more complicated than others. Is it related to the age of the records or how 'dirty' it looks?
