I used to brush the stylus before each side played but now I think that is excessive, so I check it with a jewelers loupe. I also rotate between the brush and sometimes use Blue Tack instead of the brush.
Before every side with a Henry & Tosh TS-60 gel cleaner followed by LAST stylus treatment. LAST stylus cleaner once per week. All records (including new) cleaned in a SpinClean. Never had any issues.
