To clean the tip, just stab the iron into the holder, great alternative to a wet sponge.
No water required, meaning less chance of oxidation NOTE You need to wear gloves when you replace the metal wire, keep the cleaner uprightly when open it, please don't take the metal wire out to sweep the tips, or this will possibly splash the melted residual solder.

When the iron tip oxidizes and burnt flux accumulates on it, solder no longer wets the tip, impeding heat transfer and making soldering difficult or impossible; Tips must be periodically cleaned. Soldering flux will help to remove oxide; The more active the flux the better the cleaning. A tip which is cleaned but not retinned is also susceptible to oxidation. Regular cleaning with our rosin coated tip cleaner, your soldering iron tips will work better and last longer.
