Wet Cleaning the Stylus

I have used all four methods- wet, dry, Stylast and Magic Eraser. I think the wet brush and then applying Stylast sounds the best. I have looked at the stylus under a microscope and seen that a wet brush is much more effective than a dry brush for removing dust. If the stylus has grunge build-up, then the magic eraser works the best for cleaning it off.

Auto oil changes? Really? We are going to discuss this here? Plenty of forums on that topic based on no real data. Just follow the recommendation in your owners manual or change it more often if you like- it's your money. As for me, I change my engine oil more often than recommended. Hey, it's my money. I feel better doing that. It definitely keeps the internals of the engine cleaner.

You mean Discwasher stylus brush and that little bottle of fluid? I still have mine. I haven't used it since the early 80s.

When I say that I use a wet brush, I do not mean a totally soaked brush that will submerge the stylus, canteliver and coils in moisture. I put one drop of distilled water onto a dense stylus brush. That drop gets absorbed into the bristles. It is very effective in killing static charge and pulling dust off of the stylus. A dry brush just pushes the dust around.

I also use the cueing device to drop my stylus onto the magic eraser. I would not try holding the ME in my hand. Too much coffee in my system to try that.

Have you tried the cyro'd version of Magic Eraser yet?
