a record cleaning device and proper method

Hi,
right now all I have to clean my record collection that is coming out of long storage is the super record wash from Record Research labs a nice brush I bought from the distributor and I dry them with a clean cloth . This is not really right and I tried it this way to see if I could get a way with not having to buy a machine . I have a lot of really nice classical albums and I wont to clean them properly so a machine is ,I guess absolutely necessary ? If so which one, used ,should I buy ? and do I need an additional type of fluid to go along with the supper wash ? I know I need to vacum the fluid off .
I'm sorry if this question has come up many times before .

Thank you all !
Alex

I brought my classical records out of long storage, and was pleased that the ones I had cleaned with my VPI machine 15+ years ago (and kept in boxes in climate controlled storage) still sounded great. And the VPI still worked as well. I bought some of the MoFi cleaner (both the super and the regular...all of which is the same as the RRL, I think), and some new sleeves, and started acquiring more Lps (mostly 2nd hand). The VPI and the MoFi have worked great. They can't cure a scratch, but they can get the crud up almost always, giving me very quiet surfaces, and the process is easy.

I've never tried steam, so I know nothing about it.
