FAQs
How often should I clean my stylus?
It is recommended to clean your stylus before each listening session or at least once a week, depending on usage and environmental dust levels.
Can I use the cleaning fluid directly on the stylus?
No, never apply the cleaning fluid directly to the stylus. Always apply one drop to the carbon fibre brush and then use the brush on the stylus.
Is this kit safe for all types of styli?
The kit is designed for general use and is safe for most standard stylus types. Always refer to your turntable manufacturer's recommendations if unsure.
How do I clean the microfibre cloth?
Hand wash the microfibre cloth with mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Air dry completely; do not use fabric softeners or bleach.
What should I do if I accidentally get fluid on my record?
If fluid is accidentally applied to the record surface, wipe it gently with the dry microfibre cloth immediately. Allow the record to air dry completely before playing.
Will this kit remove deep scratches from my records?
No, this kit is for cleaning surface dust and light residue. It cannot repair physical damage like scratches.
Troubleshooting
Stylus appears dirty after cleaning
Ensure you are using the correct back-to-front motion with the brush and fluid. For stubborn dirt, a second light application might be necessary, allowing adequate drying time.
Record still has surface noise
The microfibre cloth is primarily for dust and fingerprints. For deeper cleaning of record grooves, a dedicated record cleaning solution and brush may be required.
Brush seems to be leaving fibers
Be extremely gentle when using the carbon fibre brush. Ensure it is clean and free from any loose particles before use.
