There's some good info here, seems that lighter fluid should do the trick

Anti static liquid and some non-dusting clod. Theres some cheap vinyl cleaning kits like this.

Code:

seems that there is a lot of discussion about windex but the concensus is that that is bad

i think i will try the distilled water, alcohol, dawn method first

butter or even lard is the best, its the only thing that doesnt degrade the grooves, and when wiped clean it takes the dust particles with it... one of my dj friends recommend using a steak to wipe it clean

good thing about that is that you can eat the cleaning supplies afterwards
