Finally, a great stylus cleaner-Onzow Zerodust!

Just wanted to turn on us vinyl lovers to a great product.
Not expensive, on Amazon for about $50. Super easy to use. No fluid, no brushes. Just uncover it and lightly touch the sticky pad to the stylus. Well removes dust and stuff. I apply it about every other side.

Thinking about the other abrasives methods, well, it would be reassuring to see what the outcome was on a greatly magnified image. Even though a stylus is small, still it is only the very microscopic tip of it in contact with the groove. Cantilever suspension must be getting a beating with some of these methods. >>>>>>>>>>>>Would be pretty funny if someone made a stylus cleaning record.<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

I don’t like lowering the cart onto it as suggested but leave the arm in its rest and gently push the gel onto the stylus’ tip, keeping it away from the cantilever. I prefer this cleaning method over using the stiff brush that came with the cart (does it really take off any debris besides dust?) or the liquid cleaners that brush on (potential for drips/spills). The big difference between the Onzow and the budget alternatives mentioned is you can see the material it’s removed from the stylus because it’s clear. Hey, it’s working! The price doesn’t seem unreasonable, I don’t see it ever wearing out.
