Prior to this I was pretty much putting my turntable to 45 rpm, soak a cotton ball with rubbing 70% isopropanol, and move the ball from the center to the edge while spinning. This would collect the debris and to my understanding cleaned the record somewhat. At least I saw the cotton ball getting a bit of dirt on it after running it over both sides. Not real dirt, dust mostly, I guess.

I saw a recommendation of using distilled water after cleaning, though the manufacturing company does not tell you to do this. So I do put some distill water on the disk after cleaning, and, using a separate soft brush, spread it over and then vacuum. Just in case. Not sure it is really needed, I am sure the cleaners are inert and eventually, once fully evaporated, don't do anything bad. But if they have detergent in them, unless fully washed off, it probably leaves residue, however insignificant, so the addition of water probably reduces that a bit.
