Cleaning of vinyl discs can be done dry, or wet.
Be aware:
Vinyl isn‘t digital - it will never be totally free of clicks and other by-products.
Dry cleaning is limited to removing coarse dust that can collect under the needle and prevent proper tracking.
It does not change any audible crackles and noise.
Carbon fiber brushes work best, as they don’t cause any static electrical charge that attracts further dust.

Wet cleaning uses a solvent, usually demineralized water + isopropyl alcohol, + sometimes a tiny bit of detergent (soap) to better the wetting of the disc.
There are some kind of brushes involved, they spread the fluid, but no brush fiber reaches as deep into the groove as the needle.
Wet cleaning removes everything that can be removed.
Devices for wet cleaning reach from $99 to 4-figure prices.
This thing, a complete package, does a good job and is easy to handle - fully manually:

Finally there’s “wet play”.
Although no substitute for wet cleaning, wet play gives very good results, but is inconvenient in the handling.
I would not recommend for every day use, takes the fun out of vinyl.
I use wet play when making digital transfers, usually in combination with wet cleaning.
I put the just cleaned, wet disc immediately onto the player, both methods complement each other in this case.
With light-force needles wet play can soften the sound a bit (aquaplaning-effect).
To counteract I play with higher tracking force, which has the advantage to give better tracking.
Wet play almost completely prevents needle and record wear.
This is the only current device I know for wet play:
