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?

@lalitk that’s pretty cool!

I have an outlet next my 2 dedicated lines that’s on a separate leg. I can plug the light into it without impacting the system.

I have not experienced any degradation to the sound from Reliable Uber light lamp powered through Leviton outlet which works essentially like a built-in USB charger with an internal SMPS, integrated into the wall receptacle itself. Thought it was worth mentioning incase anyone interested in keeping their space clutter free.
