For the last 10+ years I have used an version 1.0 Record Doctor from Audio Advisor. I bought it with a gallon of the 'fluid". Still have most of the gallon. Still seems to work fine, and for everyday quick cleaning I use this fluid on my Discwasher brush. I have a many years old De-Stat gun (discwasher) which still seems to work. I have not ever tried soap and water, but I know it's a very popular and useful way to deep clean.
