Non-abrasive tip: Safely cleans contact surfaces without scratching or wearing them down.
Shaped for access: Fits snugly into standard UL outlets, IEC inlets, and AC plug blades.
Anti-static properties: Helps reduce static buildup that can interfere with audio signals.
Disposable or reusable options, depending on the model.

🎯 Why Use It:

Dirty or oxidized contacts can cause:
- Voltage drops
- Signal degradation
- Unwanted noise in audio systems
Keeping contacts clean improves:
- Power delivery
- Audio/video clarity
- Equipment lifespan

🧰 How to Use It:

Turn off and unplug equipment.
Insert the cleaning stick gently into the outlet or connector.
Twist or wipe the contact surfaces lightly.
Remove any visible residue or dust.
Use a fresh stick for each major cleaning session for best results.

Basic

Many audiophiles already know that the quality of power supply accessories such as audio wall outlets, power cables, and power strips greatly affects the sound quality of audio playback. However, if the electrodes of these power supply accessories are dirty, contact resistance increases and noise is generated, resulting in a significant degradation of sound quality. However, the electrodes of these power supply accessories are often located deep in the slit-like insertion holes, making them difficult to clean. In addition, the oxide film, which is the main cause of contamination, is difficult to remove with conventional cleaning solutions and contact revival agents.

The “Cleaning Stick EC” is a thin and sturdy felt stick impregnated with abrasives and wax. The felt fabric is soft enough to provide optimum abrasive power and is attached to a thin, bend-resistant glass epoxy plate that has excellent electrical insulation properties. The ultra-fine abrasive particles contained in the felt powerfully remove oxide film and dust stuck to the electrode. High-grade fatty acid-based waxes with excellent protective power inhibit the re-formation of oxide film on the electrode.

Features

Easy cleaning of Contacts in AC Outlets and IEC connectors!

“”Cleaning Stick EC” can easily clean not only the electrodes of power plugs, but also the electrodes of outlets and IEC connectors, which were previously difficult to clean, to maximize their performance.
