How to clean vinyl records

Hi Dave , 

many thanks on on the tip of the record cleaning machine. I shall definatly look it up. Will probably invest in one to. Definatly like the idea of rinsing them with distilled water . 
I don't think we have anyone here with a record cleaning service like you provide, that would be great. 
Anyway, I'm about to test out my Pink Floyd album that I cleaned last night, so hopefully I shall notice the difference .
i shall be in touch ! 

I hardly use my record cleaning machine.   Really dirty ones get pristine clean with steaming. Other than that...just use a Hunt brush before playing to get rid of any dust.

Can any portable steam machine be used, or is there one I should have in mind ? 

Steve, I have thousands of Lp's, all of them are nearly dead  silent. I clean them using an Audio Technica brush and a record solution formula that I make myself. I got it from the December 1996 Stereophile magazine. If you or anyone else's  want a copy I will email you a pdf.

I know this thread hasn't had any love for some time but just in case anyone is looking for answers in the future I thought I'd share a quick vinyl care video I made recently reviewing the products that work for me.
