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.

A couple dips, no swiping, and finish with the stylus brush to remove any stray fibers.
Been doing this for years. Blue Tack works too(I believe Soundsmith recommended)

More effective than those overpriced sticky gel pad thingies. I bought one of the Zero dust. Waste of money. $5.00 for a lifetime supply of Magic Eraser. It keeps the bathtub and kitchen sink looking great too!
