Stylus cleaners

I use a Degritter to clean all my records new and old. I put clean records on my turntable. I love the Degritter. Anyone who can afford one, should have one.

The first picture is of the Hana ML stylus after cleaning it with the Hana included brush:

And here is after cleaning the stylus with LAST stylus cleaner (without treatment):

This gives us a pretty good idea on what brushing alone does vs using stylus cleaner. 

@audio-b-dog thanks for the recommendation. I use Humminguru Nova. 
Question - was the degritter part of your routine for at least the most of cartridge’s life before it went to Grado or did it land some time after Joe de-gunked that stylus?

I bought the Degritter after the Grado cartridge had been traded in for another cartridge. The Degritter is about five years old. Joe Grado died in 2015 I think. I think I sent him the Grado Reference in the nineties. I'm an old audiophile.

Thank you for the clarification @audio-b-dog 

In early 2000s I owned Grado headphones (I think they were SR80 or something like that) and they sounded great. I was always curious about Grado cartridges. May be I’ll try one someday.
