Why are pipe cleaners called pipe cleaners?
The "Pipe Cleaners" most often encounter by people, intended for arts and crafts, are about 12 inches long and made from a plastic based material for the fluffy parts and wire. Nowadays they are often referred to as crafting stems or chenille stems. Pipe cleaners used for cleaning pipes, the smoking apparatus not the plumbing variety, are closer to 8 inches long and made from one 100% cotton. They are used to clean the soot/ash and moisture from steam and spittle that accumulates in the pipe's stem and bowl during smoking. Failure to use a pipe cleaner after smoking can result in a build up in the pipe that give the smoke a sour taste as well as clog the pipe's stem.
