I am trying to clean the records I just got from my parents. The were -VERY- dirty.. 
I am using homebrew antistatic fluid made of 1 part alcohol, 3 parts demi-water and a few drops dishwashing soap.
I clean the record using a painting-brush with very fine natural hairs. After washing, I rinse the record with demi water. Then, I dry off the record using a soft leather cloth (i don't know how to call it).
Somehow, it isn't working, it only gets worse! although the records appear cleaner at sight, they "sound" al lot more dusty than before! the cracking becomes way louder!
Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong??!
Thanx
