Wet Cleaning the Stylus

Wet cleaned the stylus of my Ortofon Cadenza for the first time. Purchased it new two years ago and never considered going beyond using a stylus brush. A friend recommended wet cleaning it and WOW, what a difference it made.
If I wet-clean the stylus on a daily basis can I expect to get the same WOW same reaction. What about cleaning the stylus on hourly basis. How about between side A and B:)
Any recommendations on an effective and safe stylus cleaner.

I told a friend who works in a used record store about the ME so he used it on his four year old stylus that had never, ever been cleaned. A week later he was telling nearly every customer in the store about the ME.
Had this product been meant for the audiophile industry, it would cost ten times more than what it actually does.

Nandric, R U serious? What kind of wet cleaning we're talking about? Do you really think that stylus is going to be dipped in cleaning solution?
a tiny bitsy drop applied to the tip of the stylus that dries out instantly... still donno what's wrong with that.

No one mentions LYRA SPT. I used it for years. There's something about it that actually made the records sound better vs ME to my ears. I recently switched to EMT from a Helikon and Delos and EMT recommends just a brush so that's what I do now.
