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?

Bravo a worthy thread - agree on good lighting - so far nobody has gone off the deep end and built a positive pressure clean room… maybe…

I use the black light to trigger another run thru the US cleaner…

@faustuss thx for the detailed last to yet another brush process, I appreciate that rigor and shall consider adopting it.

that makes sense @tomic601 

I started this thread as I didn’t see any recent in depth discussions on stylus cleaning methods and tools. Great info here thank you all!!!

You should also look in my profile under faustuss's system and expand the first photo showing my inexpensive IKEA turntable lamp I've had for years and the position it's clamped to on my turntable stand and the light oriented across the platter towards the cartridge

Good tip on the clip-on desk lamp.  Looks as if it might be a NÄVLINGE from IKEA?  It should double as a strobe light, too?

Next time I have a spare 3 hours I will pop into IKEA then try to find my way out again ...
