Purchase a cleaning solution for cleaning records manually. You can find this type of cleaner at most music stores or from online businesses.
Lay a clean, lint-free cloth on a smooth, flat surface and place the record on top of the cloth.
Squirt a few drops of cleaner onto the record brush. Record cleaning solutions generally come with a cleaning brush. If you don't have a record cleaning brush, a clean toothbrush is a close substitute.
Brush the grooves of the record in a counterclockwise direction, beginning with the inner part of the record and moving toward the outer edge.
Wipe off the bristles of your cleaning brush onto a lint-free cloth as necessary while you are cleaning the record.
Allow the record to air dry for several minutes.
Flip the record over and repeat the cleaning process on the other side.
