How often should I clean my stylus?
It is recommended to use the brush before every play session or whenever you notice a buildup of dust on the needle tip.
In which direction should I stroke the brush?
Always move the brush from the back of the stylus toward the front. Never brush from side to side, as this can damage the cantilever.

How do I ensure I do not damage the needle?

Troubleshooting
Brush leaves lint behind on the stylus
Gently shake or tap the brush to ensure no loose fibers remain before use, or lightly clean the bristles with a clean, dry cloth.
Difficulty reaching the stylus
Ensure your turntable tone arm is balanced and the platter is stable; adjust the angle of the brush to match the natural tilt of the cantilever.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This brush requires no specific setup; it is ready for immediate use out of the box. It is fully compatible with any standard turntable utilizing either MM or MC cartridges. To care for your tool, keep the brush surface free of oils and contaminants. Store it in a clean, dry area away from direct sunlight. If the bristles become dusty, you may gently brush them against a clean, lint-free surface to dislodge debris. Do not use chemical cleaners on the bristles, as residues may transfer to the stylus and subsequently to your vinyl records.
