Go to a jumble sale and get the ultimate vinyl cleaning machine from the 70s, brought to you by those purveyors of high end goods, RONCO

You can get an ultrasonic jewellery cleaner from Aldi for £15.  Use it to clean 45's.  They don't fit completely, you have to rotate the record manually, but you can see the crap coming out of the grooves.

I invested £400.00 in an Okki Nokki record cleaning machine which was money well spent.

I make my own cleaning soulution very cheaply by buying isopropyl alchohol and distilled water.

i then spray this on the disc while the machine is slowly rotating and use a goats hair brush and then use the vaccuum arm to suck all the loosened dirt and grime out. Then while still rotating I use a soft cloth which gives the record a nice sheen. I've used it on lp's and singles.

It is very effective and cheap.

Of course like any other cleaner expensive or not so expensive it won't get rid of scratches.

Got one at home.  I think it even has a CD holder, as well as a basket for jewellery and something to wrap your watch around.  That's a saving of £2,400 to actually spend on the vinyl itself.

For all of my 45s, I have a container of dish soap that I put a chamois cloth into (and squeeze out excess water) and use a dry one to dry off.  It works well for me and is fast.  I use my VPI cleaner for albums, but I do have the adapter kit for 45s.
