Koetsu Rosewood - Best/safest way to clean stylus

No liquids on my Dynavector X-1. i use the ME. 
I I agree with Lewm. 
Key word here is CAREFUL. 
I cut a very small wedge of ME. Glue it to a tooth pick, and “carefully “ lift the ME into the stylus and carefully bring it straight down. My Transrotor is eye level, so I can do this without too many contortions. 
Sometimes, I use a carbon brush as well. 
I have a small plastic cup with a lid and I place both items inside to keep them clean. 
 

I understand the reasoning behind those who choose not to use any sort of liquids, however, IMO, it defies common sense not to use some sort of fluid, every now and then for cleaning.

I laugh every time I hear how the ME is scary to use and I only drop in the stylus on it. I’ve been using ME for years and I take it and brush it back to front on my stylus, which right now is a Koetsu Urushi gold. Before that I used the same method on my Grado Statement 1. Unless you have a cheap cartridge with bad glue there is no way you can damage the stylus with ME unless your rough with it and have all thumbs. I’ve found cleaners just gunk up the stylus after awhile and collect dust. My diamond stylus have all look clean and clear, not cloudy or yellow. This is how the stylus diamond should look. Clean and clear. My stylus last for 3,000 hrs this way. I count the hours I play albums. I also ultrasonically clean all my albums and destat them. No residue ever on my stylus with this process. 

With wet cleaning all vinyl (new and used) I have never felt anything more than an up and down on a magic eraser was needed. Under a microscope the stylus looks perfect and on gross inspection after record sides there is never any lint, dust, debris on the stylus.

I like the DS Audio ST-50.  Works great.
