How often, and how, do you clean your stylus?


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.

I cut a round piece of Magic Eraser (lots of praise for this product used for this purpose) to fit into the cavity of a trimmed rubber furniture foot, which then sits on my turntable plinth between platter and tone arm rest. I lower the stylus onto the Magic Eraser as I'm cleaning the vinyl with an Oracle brush. Do this every side. Stylus is always perfectly clean, and the procedure takes no effort whatsoever, nor does it risk harm to stylus or cantilever.
