    Clean it?

    Peat's have (had a couple of years ago) loads of stuff for cleaning and replacing styli.

    Sometimes dusty records cause the stylus to skip. I had decks back in the day and got vinyl cleaner and gave it a rub after using the record. Made the records stay good quality and kept the stylus from wearing out as quick

    Some tips on care and cleaning abound on the interwebosphere, e.g. http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/fluids.html

    EDIT: On the plural of stylus: Oxford and Miriam-Webster both prefer styli. Pineapple is right.
