How to Care for Your Stylus to Extend Stylus Life and Decrease Record Wear

1. Clean Your Stylus
A clean stylus protects your record from abrasion damage caused by dirt that has adhered to the stylus tip. 

LAST Stylus Cleaner chemically cleans the stylus. It removes all accumulated deposits and particles. It is completely safe for all stylus and cartridge assemblies because it contains no alcohol or other components that can damage the stylus suspension. 

Recommended cleaning frequency: Clean the stylus after the end of playing a succession of records so that you start with a chemically clean stylus the next time you want to play records. 

Also, clean your stylus anytime you see any visible debris or hear any playback distortion.

Stylast Stylus Treatment dramatically reduces the friction at the stylus/groove interface by reducing the surface free energy of the vinyl. Stylast uses the same thermodynamic principles that led to LAST Record Preservative resulting in: 

Stylast is not a lubricant and leaves no residue. It is effective throughout the entire play of one side of an LP record. By following the directions, Stylast cannot be over-applied. 

Recommended usage: Apply Stylast just prior to every play.
