Are There Any Risks to Your Stylus From Using Magic Eraser

I guess I'm late to the magic eraser discovery.

I read a blog about sibilance, and it was suggested that cleaning your stylus with magic eraser, cleans so well that sibilance issues can be greatly minimized.......assuming all other factors have been optimized (SRA etc.).
However, someone mentioned that the magic eraser fibers grabbed onto the cantilever and damaged their cartridge.

I clean all my LP's before playing and use a Zerostat. It cleans the stylus "OK" but "if" the magic eraser is safe and provides better stylus cleaning, I would really like to try it.

Yes, what Dill describes...

Been using it with ZERO problems (my old SME arm has a "lever" lift which I use for the procedure).

I DO NOT use Stylast - just an ancient dry brush that I have used for decades. 

I also use the "original" ME’s (stolen from my wife’s inventory) and have not tried the later versions.

Never looked @ the results under high magnification, but the sonic results are easily heard.
