Vinyl record cleaning

I watched a video of someone cleaning records in a dishwasher. I think it was a Maytag, I've heard they are very dependable. I have a lady Kenmore which was left behind when she moved out and took everything else. Anyone try this method? I will today, I have nothing better to do.

This works better (the roller attachment on the top is for warped records).

Vinyl maids. The Maytag warped record roller attachment is a necessity.

Use Cascade Dishwasher Detergent. It has better surfactants than Tide and won't leave a residue behind. Note that this method works best if you live in an area with soft water instead of hard water.  Do NOT use a Brillo Pad.

Seriously a number of companies make things like this for use in saving the label when doing an immersive cleaning. I have seen other videos where people just wash the record in the sink and let water run across the label.  No no for me on that.
