Stylus cleaning with a brush is only recommended to be performed moving gently from back to front, so that any force affected upon the stylus cantilever assembly is in the same direction as would be by playing a record. This product when positioned on the plinth as shown, the arm moving across it would apply force in a perpendicular direction and could result in damage to delicate cartridges. If you're considering using such a device I'd strongly suggest checking with your cartridge manufacturer to see if it is advised.

I don’t think it’s used like that. I think it’s more like the ZeroDust where you gently lower the stylus on the cleaning material.

If that's the case it should be safe to use. I recall similar designs from decades ago where you would just run the stylus sideways through the brush as you moved it from its rest onto the record and assumed this was similar. My apologies for any misunderstanding on my part.

No worries, I’m not endorsing it just posting as an FYI because I thought it rather clever.

Here is a picture of the dual stylus cleaner mounted on my Classic.
