Useful for electronics cleaning and swabbing large areas

These are versatile cleaning swabs that can be used for a ton of different thingsThese are long so they are easy to hold onto as well as give you leverage if you need to stick or swab across something. The handle is strong plastic and not toothpick thin so it’s easy to hold. The sponge material is thick so it can stand up to pressure and rubbing as well as solvents like IPA seem to do well with it. Lastly, the the tip is firm and doesn’t flop or bend easily.Overall these are really useful swabs

Pros
  • The precision rectangular tips make it easy to access hard-to-reach areas that traditional cleaning tools might struggle with
Cons
  • The rectangular shape does not allow for precise cleaning of curved surfaces

delivered in a bulk pacakge

The cleaning form swab comes in a bulk bag that contains 4 bags of the swabs. Each bag has around 50 pcs of swabs.The tip of the swab is soft and fibreless, so it's should be a good cleaning swab for not only glasses, binocular, but also firearm cleaning tool. The stick is made of plastic, so not very hard/strong while pushing into tiny corner area.

Pros
  • USEFUL HOUSEHOLD TOOL - These foam cleaning swabs are great to use your daily life such as to clean your A/C vents, kitchen or car vents.
Cons
  • The packaging is not labeled clearly enough for first-time users

Think of the possibilities!

I use these wipes for painting and touch up on my wood carvings. They are sturdier than q-tips, my current choice. The foam tip does not shed like the cotton tip of q-tips do, and the squared corners of the AAwipes are good for tight spaces. I appreciate that these wipes can be reused after a simple swish in the brush water.

Pros
  • MEASUREMENTS - Total swab length: 5-1/4" (135 mm), Head length: 1" (25 mm), Head width: 0.5" (15 mm), Head thickness: 0.34" (8.8 mm), Handle length: 4-1/4" (110 mm)
Cons
  • The foam tips are not as absorbent as advertised

Very Good Cleaning Swab Sticks

This review is for AAwipes Foam Cleaning Swab Sticks (50 pcs, Large Rectangular Foam Tips, 5.25", Orange). This cleaning swab sticks are very useful for cleaning various hard to reach areas. These are good for using with or without a cleaning solution. They also do not leave any lint behind. The stick is fairly sturdy. I would prefer if these were double sided to make for a better value and to take up less room (less room for number of cleaning pads if you were take some with in a bag)…

Pros
  • Industrial & Scientific
Cons
  • The swabs can actually scratch sensitive surfaces

Large cleaning swabs with many uses, but don't use with acetone

This is the jumbo version of your typical 3” cleaning swab (see photo). It’s 2” longer and has a much bigger cleaning head. The stick is made from strong plastic that can withstand quite a bit of downward pressure on the head without breaking. For cleaning, I’ve used this with Simple Green, alcohol, and acetone. It worked well with the first two, but fell apart fairly quickly when used with acetone.These swabs are great for larger-area cleaning, and are a good compliment to the smaller swabs…

Pros
  • PROFESSIONAL CLEANING TOOL - The swabs are designed specifically for cleaning sensitive and delicate equipment such as inkjet printers, laser printers, optical microscopes, and lab instruments. They are compatible with cleaning solvents.
Cons
  • The tips fall off easily with minimal pressure applied

Nice quality foam swabs

These are well made and come nicely packaged. You get several bags of 50 each I believe, so you don't have to open an entire bag exposing them to dust or dirt, etc. The plastic handle on each is strong and thick, and the swap on top is all adhered, good quality, and relatively soft. These are a nice product and will be useful for cleaning computer parts with isopropyl alcohol, or applying my UV inhibitor products to plastic car trim, among many other things. Recommended useful product.

Pros
  • The swabs are perfect for use in cleanroom environments, ensuring that all surfaces and equipment remain free of contaminants
Cons
  • The foam swabs can disintegrate into smaller pieces, making them difficult to handle

Great for Cleaning Printers

We use these for cleaning in/around our printer. They are an excellent value, and do a great job. Will definitely be ordering more, as we typically use 5-6 of these per day.

Pros
  • Great for getting in the cracks! Perfect for detail cleaning. And handy tools for craft work.
Cons
  • The packaging is bulky and not eco-friendly

Good swabs! in my review

Nice swabs that hold up well. I've used these for cleaning pretty much anything and everything. They work well wet or dry, most solvents don't effect the swab and they clean and hold dirt well. Perfect for detail cleaning items after a swim in the ultrasonic tank.

Pros
  • With 50 rectangular tips included, these wipes are a cost-effective solution for any cleaning need
Cons
  • The orange color of the swabs can discolor surfaces and leave visible residue

No Complaints From me.

Exactly as described, and they work just fine for what I need them for. I just haven't worked out how I'm going to store them until they are ready for use, lol. But that's not that big of a deal.And so, I give these Foam Swabs a 5. out of, 5.

Pros
  • Make cleaning small spaces a breeze
Cons
  • The swab breaks apart easily when being used

Better than cotton swabs for cleaning optics

These swabs are great for cleaning eyepieces and other delicate items in tight areas. They are lint-free and worked well for me. The only drawback I might mention is that the heat-sealed plastic bag is not resealable and hence - once opened, the swabs are subject to external contamination. I immediately transferred them to a quart-sized plastic zip bag so that I can keep the unused swabs tightly sealed between uses. The swabs themselves are great.

Pros
  • The bright orange color makes it easy to spot any dirt or debris that may have been missed during cleaning, ensuring a thorough and effective cleaning experience
Cons
  • The swabs do not come with enough tips for frequent or heavy use

Painting, cleaning - great for both!

Plenty stiff with enough flexibility to apply needed pressure. The two ends can be bent until they touch and the plastic won't break. Snaps back with only a slight bow. Thickness is ideal for keyboards and most electronics. Since they are foam, these also work great as mini-foam brushes for dabbing on small models. I keep a bunch in the home office and workshop.

Pros
  • The foam material is resistant to tearing, ensuring that the swab lasts long enough to provide multiple cleaning sessions
Cons
  • The tips are not chemical-resistant and may dissolve on contact with certain liquids

Better than cotton swabs.

After trying these out on a few things - I like them. For many years I have been using cotton swabs for all sorts of things. From flux removal to applying a lubricant in tight spaces to cleaning keyboards and all sorts of things where something small really comes in handy.Pros: No cotton dust or lint left behind. Slightly absorbant.Cons: I would like to see these with a longer handle.

Pros
  • {}
Cons
  • The rectangular shape of the tips does not fit certain surfaces or instruments

Gread for electronics work to clean up resins and flux

Until seeing a product like tis an an electronics video, I didn't know they existed. Cotton tips work poorly in that environment because the cotton strands get caught on the stubby electronics, leaving a mess of fuzz and destroyed *Tips. I liked the idea enough that I ordered AAWipes in three different factors.All worked well. A little alcohol and a lot of scrubbing made my boards look great. I did overuse one tip and found that it's possible to push the little plastic paddle/oar through the…

Pros
  • These wipes are a cost-effective and reliable option for anyone looking for a high-quality cleaning solution that is effective on a wide variety of surfaces and equipment
Cons
  • The swabs are not suitable for cleaning textured surfaces or rough instruments

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Convenient and exactly as described

There isn't a lot that can differentiate one swab from another. These have reasonably strong stems, the foam pad is well attached and have the standard foam the works for many small item cleaners. These should hold up well for printer head and capping station cleanings

Pros
  • The wipes are versatile and can be used for a wide range of general cleaning purposes, in addition to specific instrument cleaning needs
Cons
  • The swabs leave fibers behind on surfaces, causing additional cleaning

Soak up oils without dripping

I’ve been struggling for years and spent SO much time cleaning furniture with carved detail that is really time consuming to clean and hard on my fingertips. I’ve gone through a lot of cotton swabs and they just fall apart—I feel bad about all the waste from using them but cramming a thin cloth into furniture crevices just didn’t work well either. So I was thrilled when I discovered these. They soak up furniture oil without dripping anywhere and take quite a bit of abuse before I had to…

Pros
  • The foam material is non-abrasive, preventing damage to surfaces and equipment during the cleaning process
Cons
  • The swab packaging is not convenient or easy to store

Did the Job of a Swab

Cleaning high tech printing equipment is one of my weekly chores. Making sure that the larger swabs we use are lint free and don’t break apart during use is basically the high bar we set. These do that.Orange handle makes them more easily found when loose in a bag than the other ‘tamer’ colors we’ve used in the past. I don’t know if the color is a coding for something, but for cleaning with solvent cleaner these held up fine.

Pros
  • The rectangular tips ensure that the cleaning solution is distributed evenly and efficiently over the surface being cleaned
Cons
  • The foam material can smear certain types of ink or dirt
