GrooveWasher SC1 Stylus Cleaning Brush to Clean LP Record Player Cartridge Needle - Anti-static Easy-grip Handle for Harmless & Easy Dirt & Dust Removal from Turntable Stylus. BRUSH ONLY.

GrooveWasher SC1 stylus brush with soft, dense nylon bristles on a 4.6-inch curved handle. A brush-only stylus cleaner for routine dust and lint removal, used dry or with a drop of fluid.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + 4.6-inch easy-grip handle keeps fingers well away from the cantilever while brushing
  • + Soft, dense nylon bristles arranged in a dome at the tip of a curved handle for controlled contact with the stylus
  • + Works dry for lint or with a drop or two of stylus fluid for dissolved grime, so it fits any cleaning routine

Trade-offs

  • - Brush only: no cleaning fluid is included, so wet cleaning needs a separate purchase
  • - Unlike a gel pad it needs a steady hand and a careful back-to-front stroke on the stylus every time
