Anyone Still Using Zerodust

The abrasiveness is what makes it an effective cleaner. Diamond is exceptionally hard; much harder than melamine.

Yep, my buddy who is an engineer and builder at Soundsmith uses a specialized xacto knife to scrape hardened ‘gunk’ off a used diamond stylus (under high magnification) to bring back to life when possible. Doubt Magic Eraser is going to do any harm because of its abrasiveness.

He is also a huge proponent of BluTak and Magic Eraser before/after each spin.

I don’t see much mention of anyone using Stylast stylus cleanser, with its very soft brush. . .

I have a bottle of both the cleaner and treatment. I use it extremely sparingly. Maybe once every four months or so.  Use BluTak or Magic Eraser on a very consistent  basis and it should not really be necessary.

+1 Diamond has a hardness of 10 on the Mohs’ hardness scale of 1 to 10. Why it is used as a stylist… it can survive the miles and miles of vinyl grooves it endures.

I haven't seen reference to ultrasonic cleaners used for stylus cleaning. Any thoughts?
