Abstract
The invention is a tip cleaning device especially designed for use with small or miniature soldering irons. It consists of a low profile case forming a self-contained water well with a shaft for supporting a wiping sponge having a central aperture of a size to receive the soldering iron tip. There is a wick between the wall and the underside of the sponge to keep the wiping sponge wet as long as there is water in the well.
