Perfection Steam cleaner - does it refer to Perfection Deluxe Travel Iron with Fabric Steamer? I have no clue how to use steamer/iron to clean LPs. Thanks.

I set up a record in vertical position and spayed the steam evenly at 4~6 inch distance for about 10 seconds (circling 4 times). And then wiped off the moisture with a micro fiber cloth. I tried about 10 records that I don't care much (but in still in VG condition). I used filtered water (not distilled water). After steam cleaning, all records played with lesser noise, but some thin records got warped a little bit. I guess I need to be more cautious about applying steam on very thin records.
