Better Clamp Cleaner

Instead of using an alcohol-soaked cloth or a regular pipe cleaner, I’ve found using decorative pipe cleaners packaged as Chenille Stems found in craft stores much better. They are longer and have a sturdy core wire with soft bristles. Bend into a U shape, dip in alcohol and easily clean clamps and gripper with one hand while gently maintaining the gap between the gripping surfaces with the other (never clamp down on the wire). I do this often and seldom have to disassemble for brush cleaning.
