I have had a Loricraft 3 for nearly five years now. I once had the Keith Monks and will tell you that the Loricraft is much more dependable.
I spritz the L'art du Son vinyl cleaner on and scrub the record with the nylon brush with the long direction of the brush following the record grooves. I have tried the AudioTop, Disk Doctor, and RRL cleaners often rinsing afterwards with distilled water. In every case records further cleaned with L'art du Son sound better.
I would not worry too much about some of the fluid getting on the cleaner. I merely wipe it up afterwards. I also would not worry too much about some of the fluid getting under the edge and needing to be vacuumed off after flipping.
At CES I have watched the guys from Loricraft clean records. They get fluid around the table and scrub the record as I now do. They also say that the model 6 with its greater vacuum power means that they seldom have to clean a record a second or third time to get it clean!
I have never had any difficulties at all with the thread.
