It's based on 2 types of tergitol and some surface tension reducer.
Here's a massive thread about it but you should be able to find out about it with 'tergitol record cleaner' as a search term.

I definitely borrowed it from @Airhead but here goes...
I make 500ml at a time...
400ml distilled water
100ml rubbing alcohol
1-2 drops of Tergitol 15-S-3
1-2 drops of Tergitol 15-S-9
6-10 drops of Triton X-100 surfactantAll those chemical agents I found on ebay quite cheap. I went for a "large" bottle of the X-100 as it was more cost-effective.

This method is fine. I do something not too dissimilar. I make my own solution (based on previous recommendation by @Airhead ) and use a soft-bristle paint pad to get my solution into the groove.
However I only use distilled water (mixed with rubbing alcohol). London water being so hard I wouldn't rinse a record with it.
