Default Weller magnastat soldering iron problem

Just make sure they are the cellulose sponges, not the plastic ones - the latter melt rather spectacularly and will foul the tip.

Note that the ones with the Scotch Brite surface are good for tip cleaning at the beginning of a session - but use with care and only when very wet as the material also will melt if exposed until dry.
