Record Research Deep Cleaner and Super Vinyl Wash. All you need to properly clean LP and get really great results.
I used to use homebrew but my audio dealer talked me into switching to the Nitty Gritty and he was right - it's actually much better.
(the homebrew used alcohol, distilled water, a tiny bit of aromatic solvent and a surface tension releaser)
Ditto Dan_ed...I have tried all the major commercial cleaners and Record reseacrh is by far the best of the lot.

Deep Cleaner followed by Super Vinyl wash is all you need to make them very clean and quiet, with a much expanded soundstage with all the detail contained in the groove.

Only the best for my Koetsu Urushi
