Isopropyl alcohol is commonly available over the counter in 2 varieties: rubbing alcohol, which is typically ~70% alcohol with the remainder consisting of water and lanolin (or similar skin conditioners) to keep the skin from drying out when applied for its' intended use. Regular (or non-rubbing isopropyl alcohol) is typically 90% or higher in alcohol content, with the remainder being just water. The big difference is the skin conditioners in isopropyl labeled as rubbing alcohol -- not what you want on your LPs. So if using isopropyl alcohol, better to get the non-rubbing variety.

Has anyone ever tried using steam cleaning on there records such as a hot shot steamer or some such device ?

it works well. if you steam too long, the record will temporarily warp as cook the record.
Pretty thoroughly discredited at it's heyday about 10 years ago. Drugstore steamers are meant for fabric and just spritz and sputter warm water on vinyl.
Spend big money on an RCM or a few bucks on a Shop-Vac to vacuum your way to happiness.
So 29 you have tried the hot shot steamer cleaning before?
