Cleaning female XLR


At your risk.


It has been tried today for the first time at Pleiades labs.


A (about 2mm diameter) wooden toothpick is used.


The pointed end is cut so that a wooden cylinder of approx 2mm diameter is created.


One layer of tissue kitchen paper (more than 1/4in wide) is very tightly wound around the wooden toothpick end.


This is the moistened with enough methylated spirit. Again paper is re tightened, secured by a twisting motion in order to avoid nasty surprises while cleaning.


Then it is inserted without force and gently turned inside the female XLR metal connector holes.


The paper immediatly gets dirty, an indication that this works as a cleaning method.


It might be nice if such cleaners could be bought.
