pipe cleaner, chenille stem, somking cleaner

Product Description

Many children enjoy bending pipe cleaners into various shapes. "Craft" pipe cleaners are usually made with polyester or nylon pile and are often longer and thicker than the "smoking" type, and available in many different colors. Craft pipe cleaners are not very useful for cleaning purposes, because the polyester does not absorb liquids, and the thicker versions may not even fit down the stem of a normal pipe. Because the ends of the wire are sometimes sharp, children under the age of five should be supervised when playing with pipe cleaners.
