are you sure about the liquid soap? here's a useful record cleaner. get a bottle of isopropyl (rubbing aclohol - there are two types of rubbing aclohol,in the states make sure it's the one with isoprpyl) ix it with distilled water (it'll be at the supermarket). mix them about 1:8.

Use a record cleaning machine to vacuum the dirt from the grooves in these records if there are any local shops that sells such services.
