Abstract
A cleaning device () may be a card-like member such as a flap (), integrally formed with a dispenser container (), or a slotted member () mounted on a stand-alone cleaning device (). A cleaning wipe fabric () has a modulus of stiffness which is high enough to bridge a plurality of cleaning slots (--) and hold the fabric out of contact with the slot floor surfaces ('), and low enough to be deflected by a fiber optic end being cleaned to sag within the cleaning slot to better enclose and clean the tip of the fiber optic end. Used cleaning fabric () can easily be advanced or removed as needed to avoid using the same area of fabric for cleaning more than once.
