First off i am really, really cheap.
Nothing is cheaper than water from the tap.
(and if you live in an area with water shortages, this may not be the best method for you)
After various means of cleaning LPs.. I have come down to just a rinse with a medium stream of water from the tap. Lukewarm, and turning the Lp so the water runs down the grooves all around, twice. each side. pat dry and standard vacuum with a brush attachment to final dry.
They LOOK so good!! like new.
I am finally really happy with a cheaper than dirt means of washing Lps that works well. Fast, easy, simple. cheap! all my requirements met.
And the Lps play clean clean clean.
