Description
A fast and effective gel remover for loose tube, ribbon, and coaxial cable.
Polywater® SqueekyKleen™ quickly removes gels, leaves no residue, and fans fiber with just two swipes—making cable preparation as efficient as possible. It creates a safer working environment in splice trailers and vaults with lower vapor concentrations than alcohol. Polywater SqueekyKleen is available in a selection of sizes and convenient packages, from single saturated towelettes to bulk liquid to meet your needs.
Polywater® SqueekyKleen™ Cable Gel Removal
- Quickly removes water-blocking gels and powders
- Removes gel and fans fibers with only two swipes
- Leaves no gel residue behind
SqueekyKleen Cleaner cleans and fans fiber in two wipes to save time and money. No follow-up with alcohol is required to clean and separate fibers before splicing. View the video in the additional information tab to hear the difference! SqueekyKleen is a safe product that reduces chemical odors and keeps vapor concentrations to a minimum in splice trailers and vaults to ensure a safe work environment. It is also less harsh on your hands.
SqueekyKleen Cleaner’s unique formulation and high-performance wiping towelette removes pik (filling grease) from the entire surface of loose-tube or ribbon fibers, leaving no residue. It also helps keep splice equipment clean of contamination for better fiber alignment and splice quality.
Fiber Optic Cleaning
Improper cleaning is the top cause for network failures. The tolerance to dirt or contamination on the ends of the ferrules of a connector is near zero. Network operators claim that 15-50% of all network problems can be traced to dirty connectors causing connection problems.

Mitigate the risk of fiber optic contamination with fiber optic cleaners, fiber cleaning pens, and cleaning wipes. These handy fiber cleaners can remove contaminants like: dust, dirt, oils, film residue, and solvent coating.
Airborne dirt particles are about the size of the core of SM fiber and are usually silica based - they may scratch PC connectors if not removed! Patch panels have mating adapters that can become contaminated if left open to the air or scrape off foreign particles under repeated usage. We recommend you always keep dust caps on connectors, bulkhead splices, patch panels or anything else that is going to have a connection made with it.
