I'm Simon.
Zerodust is the one. I also use the ''green paper'' every 4-5 albums, just gently to get off any stubborn gunk.

For no particular reason I tend to alternate between the ubiquitous Green paper, an AT vibrating cleaner & sometimes the Onzow zerodust gel pot.
Currently thinking about getting a proper vacuum RCM as well. Even some of the brand new LP's I buy look like they could benefit from a proper clean.

Common sense isn't anymore!
An RCM is well worth having, especially if you have more than say 200 LPs in your collection. Even brand new LPs benefit from cleaning, if only to remove excess stamper release agent.
As regards stylus cleaning, I use a Goldring electronic cleaner with a carbon-fibre bristle pad.
