Dirt on my stylus.....what to do?

I've noticed that I have some dirt and dust (and probably more junk that I can't see)on my stylus. I have tried my stylus brush with a bit of LAST STYLUS CLEANER on the brush (I've been told not to put LAST directly on my stylus) and the dust is still there.
What do you recommend???

Rwd. The Record Research fluid I sent to you works just like Disc Doctor only better, in my opinion.

I have not used the Orbitrac. I use the VPI brush, scrubbing as the VPI machine rotates the LP. Then vacuum dry. With the RR fluid, the distilled water is not necessary.

Do a test and post your results. I am interested to see which one you prefer and why.

BTW... I want to report that the LP #9 cleaned my stylus on my Helikon perfectly. Much better then the Last Cleaner.

Now, Albert, I will test the record cleaner.

Any of you recommending the LP#9 compare it to the Disc Doctor's Stylus cleaner & brush?
It also goes for about $25, wondering if I should try the #9, when I finish off the disc doctor stuff. It seems to wrok okay, but I'm new at this & don't have any comparisons.
