Stylus cleaner


Which have you found to be very effective...?

Magic Eraser; I’ve tried many others and this works best and is cost effective. Just a couple of up down and ups onto the surface with the cue lever (no hands on the tonearm needed!) and all is clean and ready to go. Sodium hydroxide is the ingredient in the material that helps clean the stylus.
Thanks Jim & folkfreak for the links...and thanks guys for the continued input, much appreciated. 


I recently attended a info session on Cartridges at AXPONA. The speaker Mr. Van Den Hul mentioned that Audio Technica stylus cleaner  was the worst cleaner to use, just the one I was using. He recommended Vodka or Last Stylus cleaner. He should know what works

To paraphrase your comment above "Mr. Van Den Hul recommended Vodka or Last Stylus cleaner. He should know what works."

I don't disagree with his recommendation on Van Den Hul cartridges or cartridges Mr. Van Den Hul has rebuilt, however not every manufacturer uses the same cantilever/stylus attachment methods or adhesives.

I use Magic Eraser on my cartridges based on the recommendation of the distributor, who also advised never to use liquid cleaners on these cartridges. Cartridge owners should follow the manufacturer's or distributor's recommendation regarding their particular brand of cartridge.

When in doubt I would not use a liquid cleaner unless it was approved.
