Actually, Linn recommended the striking pad on a book of matches. No lie.

They did indeed. However this was until they discovered " green stuff". This was a sheet of green pastic one side of which was coated with a metallic oxide, the latter acting as a very fine abrasive.
The point of all of these was the same, whether it be the long running of the AT ultrasonic cleaner, the match striking pad or the green stuff. All related to their discovery that in practice some crud that ended up on the stylus became virtually fused to it and was too difficult to remove with the conventional brush and liquid approach of the time. As the OP seems to have found out for himself.
In retrospect it seems no more extreme than using Magic Eraser, a block of melamine foam abrasive, for this purpose, .
The difference between Magic Eraser and both match striking pads / green stuff is that you can actually dip your stylus completely into the abrasive material with the Eraser. The others will only ever contact the very tippity-tip of the stylus...that ain't cleaning anything!
