Congratulations on adding a turntable back into you life! For stylus cleaning, Doug Deacon's recommendation of using Mr. Clean Magic Eraser (original version) works well. See Doug's explanation and directions. Cost: about $2 for a lifetime supply.
For LP cleaning, Disc Doctor, Audio Intelligent and Walker Audio Prelude work very well. (Check with any of the mail order sources for pricing.) A vacuum record cleaning machine makes the process quicker, easier and somewhat more effective. Disc Doctor works well for manual cleaning if you have the patience. There are various home brew formulations using 10-20% isopropyl alcohol plus various other addtions. I've used the home brew in the past, but none of the formulations I've used work as well as any of the three commercial products listed. The multi-step formulations work better than any of the single step formulations.
Have fun!
