Trying to keep cleaning solvent of my my Remington 700 trigger has been a challenge. If I slip a rag into the slot between the bore guide an the trigger to catch any solvent that might find its way into that region the rag gets in the way of the cleaning rod or tends to work itself lose.
I found some facial swabs at the dollar store the other day and decided to try them out. Hey, it's only a buck .... and there's 80 in a pack.
Folding one in half and slipping it into to the space between top of the trigger and the bore guide worked beautifully. It remains in place better than a rag or cleaning patch and doesn't let the solvent migrate through its fibers like the patch seems to do.
