I rotate magic eraser and Onzow. With the Onzow it is easier to see the crud that comes off the stylus.

Acoustic Sounds, Music Direct, Needledoctor...all the usual suspects.

I've been using the Onzow for years without a problem on expensive cartridges. I just bought a fresh one, and it is far more viscuous than the old one i had, even though i never left the old one out exposed- i would recap it immediately after use. I was always hesitant to use the magic eraser, even though i was aware (doug deacon i think promoted it on the Gon) that it was very effective- my concern had less to do with the inherent risk of using it, than with my klutziness- i know there are two ways to use the ME- either as a 'brush' technique or a 'dunking' technique.

I don't think using ME like a brush is really a recommended technique. I certainly wouldn't do it, and have seen warnings against it.

I don't recommend it either, but if you go to the fora where this originated from you'll see that it is done that way. And just to be clear, before anybody would try it, you'd see that the advise re using it to 'brush' is not in a conventional sense, it is to scrape around the stylus, not to brush underneath it, where you could potentially snag the stylus in the little strands that make up the ME.
I never used the ME either way, for precisely the reason that I didn't want to risk snagging the stylus in the ME material, and frankly, i'm not sure dunking is entirely safe either for that reason, but there seem to be many people that think the ME does a better job. Perhaps they can weigh in here.

I use the dunking method and it works just fine, but I precede it with a brush to get the major stuff (dust bunnies, etc) off first. The the ME is just cleaning the stylus itself and there is nothing to snag.
