You can clean the needle with isopropyl alcohol on a Q-tip. Make sure the cotton is just damp, not soaking or the alcohol will be drawn up the cantilever and damge the suspension. Just touch the cotton to the needle and twirl it a bit. When no more stuff comes away it's clean. Then get a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser or one of it's clones. A white brick of micro-fibers. Daily maintenanace is to gently push the needle into the brick and release.
I have gone from using just the Dawn soap to a mixture of 8 parts distilled water to 2 parts 91% isopropyl alcohol and a few drops of Dawn in a spray bottle. Don't bother with trying to find 99% pue alcohol, the other 9% of the cheap 91% stuff is just distilled water anyway.
After the tap water rinse, do a final rinse with distilled water.
