Needle Cleaning

The little brush that comes with bottles of LAST. I use it before every side. then apply STYLAST.
I inherited a battery powered Denon ultrasonic stylus cleaning bobble I use every few weeks with LAST stylus cleaner. (Curious the Denon has a brush built in that is a dead ringer for the LAST brush bristles.)
I am satisfied.

I use the Magic Eraser for detailed cleaning but for light duty work I bought a good Artist paint brush a Flat tipped one made from white nylon. I using a needle nose pliers carefully bent the brush tube up so that the brush curves upward allowing me to sweep from back to front while keeping the handle easy in my hand and flat to the turntable's top surface.

Les_creative_edge - a clever solution with the pliers. Good job.

Needles are for piercing. For tracing use a stylus. ;-)

Magic Eraser + dry brush after every side.

Use great care when doing this.If you accidentally bend the stylus and cantilever sideways,you could easily bend it,or do other damage.
