Dominic at Northwest Analogue in the UK says clean. your records, not your stylus.
I think that the Green Paper method is atrocious - I have spoken to several cartridge manufacturer and universally all think this is ludicrous unless you have a microscope sharp enough to see each face of a shibata stylus and the hands of a precision engineer to then use the said paper.
Nearly all cart manufacturers I spoke to said the Audio Technica cleaning machine was good, likewise a very soft brush to remove dust.
I have used Lyra LPT but you have to be very careful in using it.
Also worth using are the frequency sweeps on the George Cardas test record
