If you use a square of the Magic Eraser please make sure it is one that is detergent free. I used to use the Magic Eraser and now only the Zerodust alone. I believe it to be more effective. With any though you will need to make sure to have a steady hand.

ZeroDust here as well. I mount it to the plinth just to the side of the platter with a little Blu Tack so it's always ready, clean it with a piece of scotch tape once a week.

I wash mine under a running tap / faucet.

But like any product, if you misuse it,..especially a liquid,( a little is good...a lot must work better), or don't follow the cartridge manufacturer's instructions you can potentially create problems.

Even the Zerodust can be misused...
Just watch this fellow...he's asking for trouble... as is anyone who uses it this way.

that's certainly a dangerous way of using the Zerodust. Regarding liquids, I agree they can be used with caution. I have MoFi's LP9 (similar to the Last cleaner) but only use it about once per month and then a very small dab. For almost all regular play, the ZeroDust does the job.
