When cleaning vinyl - what to use for

I read with interest a recent string about a fibrous residue after cleaninig which string also included a lot of detail about various vinyl cleaning preferences. Common to many procedures is a first scrubbing step. Am curious about what applicators/brushes are recommended for the initial wet cleaning step. Some have cautioned against a Hunt brush but also seem to indicate carbon fiber won't work effectively - just curious what IS used.

I use Disc Doctor brush for wet cleaning and I like it very much.

If LP is very dirty, I also use a sticky pad to pick up any dust particles and foreign objects before the first wet clean otherwise, the brush may push them around and scratch the LP. I use a sticky pad made by handstands.com. it was originally designed for holding cell phone in a car. It is washable and doesn't leave residue. I also use it to clean my VPI acrylic platter. Very effective and cheap. Highly recommended.
