Mikey, I use the Record Research Labs products as well as Last Enzyme cleaner for the nasty moldy stuff. Here is a good starter kit for a great price:

I use either the super vinyl wash on new stuff or the super deep clean & then the vinyl wash on used stuff. If it is really nasty I use the enzyme cleaner then the super & finally the wash. After I clean the record I put it in a plastic lined sleeve so I know it is clean, then from there I just brush everything before I play it while its on the table. Honestly it takes a ton of effort at first but if you keep up on it once everything is done (which I still haven't done!) it is a bot easier to maintain. You would be shocked to hear the difference between a properly cleaned record & one that isn't, there are almost zero pops & clicks. My father was amazed when he heard my analog system vs. his, complete black backgrounds with no pops. Even if the record is new trust me it needs to be cleaned, most of the vinyl comes out like crap from the mold. Build a cleaner set up like mine, it is cheap & actually kind of fun.
