Unplug your turntable and start cleaning the stylus with a specific stylus cleaning brush. Gently wipe the component to remove dirt and dust. Use an antistatic cloth to wipe the surface of your turntable. Apply a little rubbing alcohol to a lint-free cloth and gently wipe the surface for a deeper clean.
Never use your fingers to clean the stylus as this will damage it. Don't blow on it either. Lastly, use a dust cover to protect your turntable when not in use.
