I wouldn't recommend getting records wet before you suck or sweep out all the dust or the vast amount of dust and than you should apply liquid.
If you will apply a liquid onto dirty vinyl the dust will get stuck onto groves.
So the first thing to do is to vacume it than use Discwasher record-conditioning brush with a small amount of discwasher liquid(or other professional brand) along the groves until the liquid dries out.
Place your record back onto VPI16 and vacume it from statically accumulated dust particles.
