I was using Stylast but after when I cleaned with Blu Tak there was
always a lot of black on the Blu Tak. I switched to the Lyra stuff &
now no black junk.

Stylus Cleaning Rituals
Did a search on the subject, nothing found.
So, please, briefly describe your Stylist / Needle Cleaning Rituals.
How often (in hours played?)
Procedure used.
Products used.
For me over the years (~45 and counting) I use Disc Doctor Stylus Cleaner on a Disc Doctor 'Pad' and pull it across the diamond outward (only one direction). As it 'sees' the record when playing.
I follow up with two 'placements' on a Zerodust Onzow 'gel type convex pad' I clean it ~6 months with hot water, there is spots of gunk on the clear gel pad!
About once every 5-6 hours of play.
Seems to be doing the trick, but you never know if your are missing something critical or doing untold damage.
Thanks!
