Stuff a pipe cleaner into the tube. I works a bit longer.

longer than totally clearing the tube??? I don't think so. And the
pipe cleaner can bet "glued in" by the foam too. When I rinse with
acetone and blow the tube out, it's pretty much as clean as new.

Pick your poison. Can't speak for everybody. YMMV
A "clean " tube will be useable any time from 5 minutes from now to 5
years from now.

A pipe cleaner can be stuck in, never to come out again - or might
come out with a lot of pulling.

Bailing wire does the same as the pipe cleaners.
The answer saying to use pipe cleaner because it would last longer
was in reply to flushing the rube with acetone and blowing it
perfectly clean with a blast of air. The baling wire might be easier
to get out than the pipe cleaner.

I tried the pipe cleaner once - after that the acetone was tried -(it
got the pipe cleaner out) and I haven't bothered with the pipe cleaner
since.
