Watch the Wire, and if you can deal with a reality that is 10 times worse than what they show, then haul your butt on out here, get wrecked and have Black Sabbath blasted in your face at full volume in a Baltimore basement record store!

I notice pops always at the same spots, even after cleaning. What's that about?

or find DVD copies of the TV series "Homicide Life on the Streets" a highly popular cop-show in the early 90s filmed entirely in Baltimore.  Great shots of Fells Point--the police station in the series was actually an old tugboat terminal--and the surrounding areas

That means the record is scratched in that spot.  This was a big problem for people who didn't take care of their records, or played them with worn styli.  But the records I have, which were always treated well, are 99%+ free of this.

I would think it is imperative to pull them out before the heat of the "Dry" cycle.

I don't think it makes ANY sense to wash LPs in the dishwasher. There is no way that they wouldn't be tossed about while in there, which will cause more harm than good.

If you have no machine to clean a really dirty record, carefully washing them in the sink is the way to go. It requires care and patience, but it can be pretty effective. Dish soap and a soft cloth, and lots of rinsing, blot dry with clean cloth, then let air dry completely.
