Troubleshooting
Cotton fibers shedding excessively during use.
Ensure you are not applying excessive pressure. For cleaning electronics, consider using a slightly less absorbent alternative if lint is a persistent issue, or ensure the surface is not overly rough.
Swabs are not rigid enough for a specific task.
Q-tips are designed for gentle use. For tasks requiring more rigidity, consider alternative tools. Do not bend the swab excessively as it may break.
Swabs feel damp or have an unusual odor.
This can indicate exposure to moisture. Discard the affected swabs and ensure the remaining product is stored in a dry environment.
