Can I use a small amount of washing up liquid and warm water to clean vinyl ? If I use a microfibre cloth then a vinyl brush and velvet pad when they are dry ?

For really crusty records Luke warm water and only a tiny amount of wu liquid, wipe in circles, rinse with water.
Stick in a draining rack.
For less crusty or to give the best clean to water washed records use a very pure lighter fluid.

May I offer you a little advice? These are very basic and simple questions. Google and YouTube offer a wealth of information, that is readily available. Doing the research yourself, will give you a greater sense of accomplishment, I know it does for me. You will also have more options right there, from more sources. WD40 is a well accepted cleaner and lubricant of vinyl, after using water. Water leaves residue, and some places the water is downright disgusting. If you do a little research, you will find vinyl cleaning solutions and products, good luck.

Distilled water FTW.
Not a problem over my way, softwater, pH 5.7, great for washing records & brewing tea, cheers!
