L’Art du Son’s Stylus Cleaning Fluid is a non alcohol, non solvent cleaner developed over ten years to safely remove baked on debris from a stylus without damaging adhesives, elastomers, or cartridge materials. It uses selected surfactants to restore proper glide performance, resulting in clearly audible sonic improvements across all cartridge types. Only a tiny drop is needed, applied gently with the included brush, and the 17 ml bottle lasts for hundreds of cleanings.
Martina Schoener created this stylus cleaner after years of concern that many existing products, especially those containing alcohol or harsh solvents, can harm cartridges. These substances may weaken adhesives, degrade elastomers, or even damage plastics, ultimately shortening cartridge life.
