Cleaning Cloths

Cleaning patches are an essential part of maintaining your firearm. They are needed to clean the bore, apply solvent, or remove excess oil. Most cleaning patches are crafted from soft, absorbent cotton, which effectively holds cleaning solutions while being gentle on your bore. Some synthetic options are available too, but they might provide less absorbency.

When it comes to shape, patches are typically square or round, with some brands offering triangle-notch designs for better surface contact. They all work fine as long as you pair them with an appropriate jag size—you want just the right tight fit to clean thoroughly without excess friction.

Brands like Pro-Shot, Hoppe's, Otis, and Birchwood Casey produce consistently high-quality patches. Sizes vary to accommodate everything from .22 caliber handguns to .50 caliber rifles.
