How did we use to our clean our albums/45's?

Hi community members,

Does anyone remember using dish soap to wipe on our albums/45's, then damp cloth & wiping them dry with a soft cloth.

Finally got my all old albums from ex and some are really screwed. I've tried vinyl cleaner solution (D4+drops) with the record cleaning pad. then using small red handled brush sweep away any dust particles.

Additional Details: vinyl records=45's and albums. Please only generations 20's, 30's, 40's, 50's & 60's maybe 70's.

I will return a best answer=10 spot/what I feel is a best answer.

Update:

Please read before you answer..before they made the drops, pad & brush. Yellow cloth maybe. I will star everyone who answers but will wait til the 5th day for others to answer. Vinyl's are making a come back...Yes, the drops still exist!

Update 2:

would help to get the right http://www./ so I could just click on it.

    A yellow dust cloth. Dust no problem, anything else screwed the drops and pads were and if they still exist a waste of time and money.

    Back in the day I used to just use an anti-static brush. Now I have a VPI record cleaning machine...
