i recently got some offs the pins but i can still see more its not covering each entire pin. but just around the base and some in the middle around the middle of the pins. not sure how to clean or what will happen if i put it in my system.
 
Solution
I think by cotton bud he/she is referring to a cotton on the end of a Q-tip. You're right it won't fit down to the base though. You could try using a thin piece of toilet paper and slide it between the pins perhaps. It sounds crazy but you're going to need to be imaginative lol.
