Cleaning LP's


What is the best relatively inexpensive way to clean LP's? My turntable has been shot for a number of years. I was given a turntable, nothing special, but I can't believe what I've been missing. I'm hearing a lot of crackle and I'm assuming my records need cleaning. Some sound okay while others are not so good. I can't see anything obvious on the surface. Any advice?

In days of yore, the word was to clean your LP's in water and a little dishwashing detergent. I've done this with no apparent harm. If you want to go "high tech", use distilled water. Be sure water is only this side of warm and to rinse well (4 times as long as washing time) with clear water. 'Outa do it...
