Best type of stylus cleaner??


Hi. I've recently delved back into vinyl after many years. I have an Ortofon Samba MC cartridge. Maybe its an indictment of our housekeeping, but the needle seems to accumulate a lot of dust & tiny hairs or fibers, even after one or two records. I try to clean it after each play, but some of the dust/hairs are difficult to remove. I don't have the best record cleaner (SpinClean), but the dust seems excessive. Ortofon warns of using liquid cleaners; is there a consensus stylus cleaner or brush out there?? Is my problem unusual? Thanks.

I'll second the recommendation of Stylast #5. Works very well in conjuction with a cleaning brush with the short tightly packed nylon bristles. Like the old SC-1 Discwasher brush or the up to date equivalents sold at various retailers.
I guess I would be a little concerned using an industrial based cleaner (Mr. Clean) on my expensive cartridge; but thats me I guess.

CHuck,
There is no liquid involved. It's basically a dry sponge-like abrasive pad with ultra fine fibers. Check the thread archives.
