The commonly accepted way to clean records among audiophiles is to use an ultrasonic cleaner, and a homemade cleaning solution containing some industrial attractants and anti-static additives that are recommended by the Library of Congress, but a few drops of dish soap works about the same. You don't need a lot, just enough to break the surface tension. There's usually a motor that slowly spins the record so that the label never gets submerged, and there are label protectors with o-ring seals that you can use while rinsing to protect the label.
The distilled water is mostly needed to avoid deposits from water spots after the rinse water evaporates. This can be mitigated with a vacuum drying system, which you can buy for between $25 and $500.
