I, too, had many, many albums damaged in a flood, about
a year ago.  The paper and cardboard of the jacket/liner
had deposited into the record grooves and just would not
come out.  My plea to the net was answered, and I wrote
off to Old Colony Sound Lab (usually advertised in "The
Audio Amateur" in Petersborough, New Hampshire).  They
have two products, an anti-static solution which helps
the particles come out of the grooves, and a "facial"
which gives the record a deep cleaning.  Both products
work great, are moderately priced (read extreamly cheap
compared to the highway robbery of most record cleaning
products).  I now regularly use the anti-static spray
on all my records, even the ones that didn't get wet.
