6" Cotton-Tipped Swabs with Wood Handles, Non-Sterile – 1,000 Pack
Keep a generous supply of cotton-tipped applicators available for cleaning, maintenance, and detailed application tasks. These 6-inch non-sterile swabs feature absorbent cotton tips and sturdy wooden handles, providing a convenient solution for reaching recessed areas, removing loose debris, and applying small amounts of compatible liquids.
The extended 6-inch length offers greater reach than shorter household cotton swabs, making these applicators especially useful for equipment maintenance, electronics repair, mechanical servicing, and general workshop applications. Their wooden handles provide a firm grip for controlled movement, while the soft cotton tips allow targeted cleaning and liquid application.
Each swab is designed for practical everyday use. The absorbent cotton tip can hold small amounts of cleaning solution, lubricant, or other compatible liquids, allowing controlled application to specific areas. The cotton can also help collect dust, dirt, and loose contaminants from surfaces where a cotton applicator is appropriate.
With 1,000 swabs per package, this bulk quantity is ideal for repair facilities, manufacturing operations, laboratories, maintenance departments, and workshops that regularly use disposable applicators. Keeping a larger supply on hand helps reduce frequent reordering and ensures fresh swabs are readily available for routine tasks.
These applicators are supplied non-sterile and are intended for general cleaning and application purposes. They are not specified as lint-free, ESD-safe, or suitable for sterile medical procedures.

Facilities requiring bulk cotton swabs
Extended 6-Inch Wooden Handles
The 6-inch wooden handle provides additional reach for cleaning and application tasks.
This longer configuration is useful when working around mechanical components, inside equipment housings, or in areas that are difficult to reach with shorter applicators.
The wooden shaft provides a relatively firm handle for controlled movements.
Its extended length also helps keep fingers farther from the immediate cleaning area.
Use light pressure when working around delicate components or surfaces, and avoid bending the handle excessively.
Soft, Absorbent Cotton Tips
Each swab features a cotton tip suitable for absorbing small amounts of compatible liquids.
Cotton is useful for applying cleaning solutions, wiping away loose debris, and performing general-purpose maintenance.
The soft tip provides a convenient contact surface for many cleaning tasks.
However, cotton can release fibers, particularly when rubbed against rough surfaces or sharp edges.
For contamination-sensitive applications requiring verified low-lint or lint-free performance, choose an applicator specifically rated for that purpose.
Convenient for Electronics Maintenance
These cotton swabs can be used for suitable electronics maintenance and repair tasks.
Their extended handles help reach accessible areas around equipment components, while the cotton tips provide a convenient way to apply small amounts of cleaning solution.
They may also be used to remove loose dust and debris from compatible surfaces.
Because these swabs are not specified as ESD-safe or lint-free, they should not be substituted for specialized applicators where those properties are required.
Disconnect equipment from power before cleaning unless an approved service procedure specifies otherwise.
Always verify that the cleaning liquid and applicator are appropriate for the equipment being serviced.
Controlled Liquid Application
The absorbent cotton tip allows small amounts of liquid to be transferred to a specific area.
This is useful for applying compatible cleaning solutions, oils, and other maintenance materials.
For best results, use only the amount of liquid necessary for the application.
Avoid oversaturating the cotton tip, which can cause dripping or unwanted liquid transfer.
When using flammable solvents, follow the chemical manufacturer's Safety Data Sheet and applicable workplace safety procedures.
Bulk 1,000-Pack for Frequent Use
The 1,000-count package is particularly useful for businesses and workstations that consume cotton swabs regularly.
It provides a larger supply for routine cleaning, application, and maintenance.
Bulk quantities are convenient for repair facilities, laboratories, manufacturing departments, and general workshops.
Using a fresh swab for each cleaning operation can help reduce the transfer of dirt, residue, or other contaminants between surfaces.
For smaller quantities, the same style of 6-inch non-sterile cotton swab is also available in a 100-pack under SKU 36256-1.
Workshop and Hobby Applications
These swabs are useful for more than equipment maintenance.
They can be used for model building, crafts, detailing, and other projects requiring targeted application or light cleaning.
Their long wooden handles provide control when working around small parts or recessed surfaces.
The cotton tips are convenient for applying compatible liquids or removing loose debris from suitable materials.
For delicate finishes, test the swab and cleaning solution on an inconspicuous area before use.
Non-Sterile, Disposable Applicators
These swabs are supplied non-sterile.
They are intended for general cleaning and application tasks rather than sterile medical procedures.
Disposable applicators are convenient when contamination control requires a fresh swab for each operation.
Once a swab becomes dirty or saturated with an unwanted substance, replace it with a clean one.
Dispose of used swabs according to the chemicals or other materials they have contacted.
Storage and Handling
Store unused swabs in a clean, dry environment.
Keep the cotton tips protected from dust, moisture, and contamination.
Inspect swabs before use for loose cotton fibers, damaged wooden handles, or other defects.
Avoid applying excessive force that could break the wooden shaft.
When working with cleaning chemicals, follow appropriate handling, ventilation, and disposal procedures.
