using a small percentage of isopropyl alcohol and distilled water. Alcohol is a universal solvent, even though it is not as good an organic solvent as alternative surfactants. Alcohol does help reduce the surface tension as well, even though it is not as effective as a surfactant.
You could then rinse off the alcohol based solution manually while protecting your record label using one of the a label protectors linked below. You could then drip dry the record in a rack or use a lint free cloth. In the last century, I rinsed off the record under a sink faucet, followed by pouring distilled water over the surface, then I put the record into a rack to drip dry(see pic).
