I agree wit Chris. Pipe cleaners are notoriuos for the very problem you are having. If I do use one then I pinch the pipe cleaner with my thumb and index finger and rub down it a few times to get the loose particles of material to come off before using it. I have not had a problem yet with doing this but the brushes that Chris mentioned are much better.
