Here's what Harry Weisfeld, the head of VPI, recommended on Audio Asylum some time ago. Take a gallon jar, put in 16 oz. of isopropyl alcohol (NOT rubbing alcohol), then fill it with distilled water and add 3-4 drops of Dawn dishwashing liquid as a surfactant. Note that VPI sells its own record cleaning fluid, but Weisfeld apparently preferred his home-brew version.
I personally like Audio Intelligent Vinyl Solutions (AIVS) a lot, but it's more expensive and there's nothing wrong with the Weisfeld formula. Good luck, Dave
