Stylus cleaners

I used to use Onzo ZeroDust with my first few cartridges years ago. With the last two cartridges, Hana ML, I have only been using the included Hana brush for every side of LP and the MoFi LP-9 liquid stylus cleaner (I get as much fluid out of the brush by pressing it against the neck of the bottle before I clean stylus) every 3-4 records. 
Onzo is collecting dust especially since the Fremer’s The Tracking Angle article. 
 

I’ve been looking at DS Audio ST-50 but at $80 I’m not sure it will do anything better than my current cleaning methods. 
 

What’s your stylus cleaning routine?

@tomic601 I think you will find a fourth DS Audio gel pad if we give you another 15 minutes. Lol

Perhaps…. Tools never seem to be in the right geographical location as the problem at hand…

Also for those rightfully enamored w liquid last,,, peer into the bottle now and then with an eye to the abrasive slurry floating around inside.,, like mating the fridge… when in doubt throw it out,,,,,

@audphile1 That is very effective and I am using the LAST products and have used the Kirmuss Audio solution that came with my Kirmuss LP Cleaning system.

Another Onzow user here.  Been using it for many years on many different cartridges and it works well and does no harm.
