However, with the rapid development of modern electronics manufacturing, the development of cleaning swabs of such products are also driven up.In the face of the market of a variety of cleaning swabs, how should we make the choices?

First of all, the choosing of the swabs should focus on the material .For sponge head cleaning swab,it should be equipped with the excellent material of high quality,with the features of strong force of clean, smooth, flexibility, no hard edges, head dropped crumbs.Swabs should be with of material not chemical reagents added, there is no worry about the reaction of products.There Must be no silicon products at the same time, the head does not affect the product, such as DVD and hard disk, etc., It also must comply with Rohs standard.But one thing should be paid attention to: anyone who says the sponge head cleaning swab can cooperate with any solvent cleaning products that are not scientific.Because any good sponge used with acetone (acetone) solution will produce different degrees of “disfigurement” phenomenon.But in real life, the way people use sponge head swab is more common, so you can consider using isopropyl alcohol (IPA) solvent, its ability to clean and of environmental protection is very excellent.If you have to use a higher intensity of cleaning solvents, such as acetone (acetone),you can use swabs with polyester head or superfine fiber(microfiber) head, Not only can they achieve the ideal effect, but also make the swab head without “disfigurement”.

Secondly, swabs of external should be concise, having good feeling, and handles of swabs must be smooth, with good flexibility, not easy to break.Otherwise, any good swab head will be nowhere to go.Because swabs are kind of fast consumables,So the swab head in process of use have been consumed, therefore ,if the used heads can be replaced with new swab head,it will be much better and effective .And it will save the cost of the enterprise, we believe most companies still think much of this feature.

Finally, we must choose products from normal manufacturer .products from normal manufacturer not only can provide better technical service and quality assurance, but also assure you stand in the market with the advantage of competitive price .

To sum up, as for the choosing methods of cleaning swabs or gun cleaning swabs we should pay attention to the product details, good quality, economic and practical value.
