I use alcohol instead (and not a lot) and a small throw-away brush - cotton swab may be ok to dab, but strands stick to some work.

I use a pen soldering iron and replace the tips. As said before CLEANING and heating are your friends. I bought the cheapy pen iron with the cheapy stand that has a spring to hold the iron in between use.
