Sorry I disagree 'all new records need to be clenaed.' that is a record cleaning machine sales broucher blurb.
I NEVER clean a new LP. and after cleaning Lps with various product i am happiest with a rinse under the kitchen sink and NO solvent/soap/"audiophile magic fluid" of any kind.
This leave the plasticizer on the surface of the vinyl. and that is 'better' . Same 'in theory' as all the clean freaks theory. Just what theyI like to hear.
Most Lps, all I do is vacuum them off. New used if they get dust I use a standard vacuum cleaner with a brush I save for 'LPs ony".
(I find it 'funny' for a poster to add in 'lets make it standard that all Lps are cleaned when new" Hah. not.
