between minerals and contaminants in a lot of water systems

I'd suggest at least rinse with distilled water. Distilled water is still cheap enough -- about $1 for a gallon.
"I smell bad"
Funny, on my computer it's an ad for Irish Spring Body Soap...
I used to live in an area where the tap water would leave minerals traces all over the record surface.Now here where we live it doesn't seem bad at all. But I don't take any chance and stick with warm distilled water applied with a microfiber cloth, followed by vacuuming. One out of two times though this is not enough with very old and crummy records - sometimes looking very pristine and all, but the previous owner had obviously played them with a dirty stylus... Or maybe the guy smoked a pipe all the time! Then I use some soap-based solution, followed by a rinse under tap, followed by the distilled water routine.
