Getting and keeping records clean................

Hello, I have my turntable on the way and my vinyl collection growing weekly. I am thinking I will need to get a record cleaning machine to enjoy vinyl to its full potential. What RCM are recommended by you? Is it possible to clean records by hand effectively? I wonder if I can clean my collection by hand now with disc doctor or similar and brushes? I plan on getting a record cleaning machine but it will probably take a little while before I can swing the dough for one. Any help would be greatly appreciated such as which cleaning solution to use and brushes and their source. Thanks again. Nicksgem10s  (Threads | Answers | This Thread) 06-02-05

I now have lots of tables. I've never wet cleaned a record yet. My friend who seems to spend more time with his Keith Monks and flavour of the month fluid than listening, always comments that my system does not show up surface noise/vinyl roar like his does (whatever table/arm/cartridge combo I'm using). I always thought if you kept the stylus clean (zerodust - I use zyx's)that was the best way of lifting crap from the groove. I must try this but it will be a cheapo hand operated job for 'bargain buys' that need a clean.
