Read Dougdeacons old thread about Magic Eraser. It works so much better for me then Onzow or anything else. Affix it to a quarter coin and lower tonearm so it lands on the ME. Don't pull it by hand like a dry brush. Cheers,

Onzow Stylus Tip Cleaner
I ordered a Onzow ZeroDust stylus tip cleaner to use with an Ortofon Quintet Black. I'd read somewhere that certain chemicals in the product could cause the stylus tip to come loose from the
cantilever, so I sent an email to Ortofon support asking about that. This was the response:
In lieu of the Ortofon supplied stylus brush, I've been using Blu-Tack which works well. But the ZeroDust cleaner got such good reviews, I thought I'd give it a try. Anyway, has anyone experienced problems using the ZeroDust product?
The ZeroDust packing has "HIGHLY RECOMMENDED by ortofon" on the insert card. I sent that information to Ortofon support, who asked me for a picture of the card which I sent.I’ve heard of a few instances of the Onzow taking the stylus off because it’s very sticky. I recall a rumor where someone using on Onzow (albeit not with our cartridge) had the stylus come off at a trade show.
To be absolutely safe, I’d recommend the use of a dry brush only, as we note in the owners manual.

Never had any issues with the Onzow although never had an Ortofon cartridge either. I do not find it to be "sticky gunk" at all? I can touch it and does not feel sticky or slimy. I just dip down once or twice lightly between albums. I also use Stylast every 3 or 4 albums or so. Not wore out a stylus or damaged one yet...... |
I never had any issues except for price. www.SORAsound.com has it for $21.00. I use blu tac off and on as well. Have to be extremely careful as blu-tac is not forgiving. |
