Oh dear !

I nearly bought one of these but never got a reply from the local distributor.

How do you guys clean your stylus ?

I use a dab of Lyra SPT at the start of a session and a small dry brush before each side.

Small dry brush each side, followed by a few dips in the Onzow.

I have Moongel which seems to work just as well, but is slightly firmer than the Onzow. And the Onzow just keeps going even after over a decade of use. Just clean every now and then with warm soapy water.

Every few months I use Stylast liquid treatment.

Those pics don't phase me!

Used Zero Dust for years but only if I think the cart needs it. I have some small stylus brushes that I use regularly.

Dry brush. I have an Onzow which formerly had an occasional work out, but since I've employed the Degritter cleaner there has been no evidence of muck on the stylus at all. Even the brush seems superfluous, I'm brushing out of habit but I imagine I'll ween myself off soon.

Carbon fibre dry brush used mostly. Usually before and after each album side.  
DS Audio ST-50 sits by the TT too. Got it about 2 years ago. Used infrequently, but works fine when used. It's Urethane Gel, cleanable etc.  ds-audio-w.biz/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/ST-50EN.pdf
The DS unit appears the same concept as Onzow... don't look too hard, you'll find a problem with anything

Do you pop records straight into the Degritter or do they get a pre-clean ?

I use another "dip" type goo but can't for the life of me remember the name. It's in a round, clear container. I've just inspected it after reading Mikey. Ye gods, it's filthy!! Over 15 years of stylus crap floating in it.
How do you clean them again??

If you mean clean the cleaner, then warm soapy water works for me.

Those dirty stylus photos remind me of carboned up inlet tracts of cars with direct injection.

Looking at you Audi

Both require labour intensive manual cleaning.

The vast majority would go straight in the Degritter.

I've cleaned about 1,000 LPs in the Degritter now including around 250 for other people who have unearthed stashes that haven't seen the light of day this century, so I've got a pretty good handle on what the machine can and can't handle. 

Greasy fingerprints are the only thing that I'd automatically throw into the pre-clean pile. I give them a good swirl through a Knosti before going in the Degritter.

If I acquire an LP that looks really filthy and has caked-on muck I'd probably give it a pre-clean although I suspect the Degritter would take care of it on the "heavy" setting.

Very occasionally I'll put an LP through the machine twice if there is still "noise", sometimes an improvement is heard. I'll happily stick an LP through repeatedly if I think there is a chance I can rescue a rare record I'd written off as being beyond redemption.

Of course pressing faults or other human inflicted damage are beyond all hope.

PM me if you want to try out a few
