RCA connector cleaning tool

is there a simple tool that can be used to quickly, easily clean off RCA connectors? It's kinda hard doing it one at a time with a rag.

thanks.

I had a buddy who was using the male end tool and had it break in the rear input rca of his phono stage...we had to completely disassemble the unit and pick out the plastic piece by piece with an awl so he could use the component. Not fun. I would definately go low tech here and use the pipe cleaner and alcohol route myself. :)

I had to get off all that silly silver paste folks thought was so great... Good Luck
