You can have the cleanest vinyl record in the world. But if your phono cartridge stylus is dirty, you’ll miss some of the music that’s hiding in the grooves. Worse than that, a very dirty stylus could even harm your favorite recording. The Record Doctor Stylus Cleaning Fluid is the safe and easy way to get your stylus free of dirt, dust, and grime. Your stylus may accumulate this grunge from airborne sources or pick it up from a dirty record. But it’s quickly removed, thanks to the fast-acting cleaning solution and the stylus cleaning brush that’s built into the cap. The Record Doctor Stylus Cleaning Fluid can make a huge difference in the way your turntable system sounds. It’s one of the most affordable enhancements to good audio that a vinyl enthusiast can make.

An Old Reliable
I've been availing myself of this product since, well, since I'd rather not say. But a long time. It does exactly what it promises, no more no less. The fluid may be (?) largely alcohol, I don't know. But like tens of thousands of others I've been using this product for decades without any deleterious effect on my styluses, and the cleaning wand works great. For all I know it may be a slightly modified (or unmodified!) mascara brush, but it has passed the test of time. Using it carefully on my cartridges, whether an Ortofon or Dynavector, has never caused a problem.Now, let's talk about the quality of the bottle. Come on Record Doctor folks, the people here complaining about the screw on cap are correct. It is a piece of garbage and very easy to break. Once you break the cap the unusual shape of the bottle which is aesthetically pleasing if the cap is on & acting as a seal presents a real problem. The bottle is easy to knock over, and that quality combined with the piece of refuse cap is a problem. FIX IT.BTW, use the cleaner when the TT & cartridge are active. You need to use a light touch and I find having the sound on guides me away from putting on too much pressure.

The cleaning fluid works and removes all the dust and debris that get attached to my stylus. It smells a lot like alcohol, so it may just be that with some other chemicals mixed together. The only thing I don't like is that the bottle is easy to knock over because of it's shape...not very well balanced. Otherwise, it does its job at an affordable price.

I'd look for a better option.
Lid was flimsy and cracked while screwing it on the first week. Maybe it cleans the needle well. Probably I'd rather put rubbing alcohol in a mascara container. I'd look for a better option.

Works great to remove the fuzzies from my record player needle
Works great to remove the fuzzies from my record player needle! Don't ruin your records with uncleaned needles! This should be one item (along with a suitable record cleaner) that belongs on your shelf if you own a record player!
