How to clean Karat 17D3 stylus?


I need your help.

I recently got this cartridge and would like to know, from those who either own or have owned one of these in the past, how you go about cleaning the stylus.  

Thank you.

I blow on it

I highly recommend you do not do that. Peter Lederman of Soundsmith has said blowing on your stylus/cantilever can result in small particles of saliva build-up that attracts dust and can become hardened 'gunk'. They see this all the time when cartridges are sent for repair.

If you need to 'blow' on the stylus, get a handheld blow/bulb that photographers use, as example.
