Brush for cleaning typeslugs
What sort of brush would be recommended these days for regular typeslug cleaning? Would a stiff toothbrush fit the requirement, or would something more like a nail brush be a better option?

I like the nylon-bristle version of these gun cleaning brushes I get from Brownells' web site :

Re: Brush for cleaning typeslugs
I've been using these nylon gun cleaning brushes. I like the little brush on the other end for getting into smaller spaces in the typewriter. Amazon.com : Otis Technology Blue Nylon All Purpose Gun Cleaning Brush (10 Pack) : Sports & Outdoors
I also use these plastic dental picks in the type slugs and elsewhere in the typewriter. Being plastic (and inexpensive), I don't worry about getting aggressive with them. Amazon.com: Tipton Firearm Cleaning Pick Set with 4 Picks for Gun Cleaning and Maintenance : Everything Else
