Degaussing is a magnetic process. I think what we are talking about is neutralizing the static charge buildup. I'm not sure why the stylus cleaning is effecting the static buildup but when ever you rub two surfaces together you can generate a static charge. This is happening both when cleaning the stylus and when playing the record.
Low humidity will make the static generation worse. The solution used with the stylus cleaner will help limit the static creation (I think).
I've had reasonably good luck using the DiscWasher ZeroStat. The ZeroStat shoots stream of ions onto the record to neutralize any residual charge buildup following the cleaning process.
BTW even living in So. Cal. by the beach we sometimes have some low humidity days.

John
