No empirical evidence to base it on, but the steam cleaning scares the hell out of me. I wouldn't try it.

:o Doesn't a steamcleaner produce heat???? Be very carefull with such a thing. Test it on some worthless records first before you pick your favourites!!! And keep us informed!

I'd use a commercially available vinyl record cleaner. The steam-cleaning will probably make more of a mess than anything else. The record labels will get damaged by the steam too.
