I agree, you should not pull or scrape this across the stylus. The fibers are so interwoven that they will provide too much resistance to a smooth pulling through the stylus. After wetting and compressing, however, the density is greatly increased. You can make the volume 50% or less of the original cleaner. Then if you drop the stylus onto it and lift up without pulling, more of the cleaning microfibers are in contact with the stylus. I looked at the process under a hand held microscope and thought the un-compressed cleaner looked rather loose in the fiber configuration compared to the scale of the actual diamond. This is why I asked the question.
Mr Clean Eraser for Stylus Cleaning
I recently tried the Mr Clean Magic Eraser (which thanks to Doug Deacon is another cheep-o break-through for analog from Audiogon forum members) and found it very effective. Previously I had only been giving a swipe with last stylus cleaner.
My question is this ... would the eraser be even better after wetting and compressing? I know many have warned against using it wet. But once wet and squeezed and dried again, the cleaned has a much greater density which seems better adapted to cleening the fine surface of the stylus.
