TOOLS FOR CLEANING AN AES

I have two AES systems and I want to clean the cart slots. I have blown them out with canned air, but want to find something to actually wipe them down with and remove any junk. (I know hardmvs.com has a cleaning faq, but their method of using a toothbrush is not to my liking.)

I found this:
<a href="http://www.buyritegames.com/product_information.asp?number=NES-CLEANK&back=yes" target="_blank">http://www.buyritegames.com/product_information.asp?number=NES-CLEANK&back=yes</a>

It's $20 and would work perfectly, but in my case all I want are the slot cleaning cards. Plus I am wary of buying from Buy Rite, I've heard nothing good about them.

There must be some product out there that I can buy that will work.

I use the following to clean the games and they fit the boards perfectly! (They are too big for the slot though.) They work like a charm (since they're not cotton, they leave no lint) and leave the contacts bright and shiny.

The link: <a href="http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=&product%5Fid=44%2D1115" target="_blank">http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=&product%5Fid=44%2D1115</a>

Does anyone know of anything like what I am looking for and where I can get it?

Oh, and this is also posted in the Tech forum, so if you see this more than once I apologize... ;-)

Use alcohol, that’s what I use.

I was having problems receiving two orders I placed the first week of May from Buy Rite. As of last week I'm having problems canceling those orders...

If you can find some old NES or SNES cleaning tool, you could probably take it apart and use it in the AES slot.

What about cleaning contacts on carts? I've heard of people using an eraser or a q-tip w/ rubbing alcohol is supposed to work well. I thought rubbing alcohol was bad for the contacts though.
