What is a Silicone Gun Cloth?

Let’s break it down: What is it and what makes it great?

The Otis Silicone Cleaning Cloth, measuring 10”x14”, is a soft 100% cotton flannel cloth, pre-saturated with silicone lubricant for the cleaning and maintenance of a variety of outdoor products.

Silicone cloths can clean and polish surfaces, remove fingerprints, and remove corrosive oils while also leaving a protective film of silicone that can help prevent rust and corrosion on the metal surfaces of equipment which are often exposed to the elements.

The Silicone Gun Cloth comes in a resealable storage bag to keep the cloth soft, clean, and free from dust for repeated use and it comes in one color, a bright yellow, to help you easily identify areas that have been soiled or overused and serves as an indicator of when the cloth may need to be replaced. The yellow color also makes it highly visible and easy to locate if you set it down while using it in the field or on your bench.

So what can you use it on? Silicone Cleaning Cloths from Otis can be used on a variety of materials, including metal, wood, and plastic making them a versatile addition to your range bag, tackle box or tool chest. They’re great for use on knives, both for the handle and the blade; as well as fishing gear and firearms.

When it comes to fishing gear, what should I use the Silicone Gun Cloth on?

Any easy way to find the answer to this question is to ask yourself if the surface is prone to rusting. If the answer is yes, hit it with the Silicone Gun Cloth. Items like spinner bait blades, spoons, reel housings, eyelets, and other surfaces that may be prone to rust from exposure to moisture will all benefit from treatment with the cloth. It’s going to provide a protective layer of silicone to help prevent rusting while also cleaning the surface, leaving your gear in tip-top shape.

What areas of your firearms should you use the Silicone Gun Cloth on?

First and foremost, make sure the firearm is on safe, unloaded and clean.

Stocks, receivers, barrels – where can’t you use it? Use the cloth on rifles for a lint free shine on your wood and synthetic stocks, metal receivers and blued or stainless steel barrels. This cloth removes those stubborn finger prints and really polishes, returning the shine to the smooth surfaces of your most prized firearms.

Where else can you use it? On the cylinder, grip and frame of your favorite revolvers. Add some shine, protect the metals, and clean the exterior all with one, simple tool.

The Silicone Gun Cloth will wipe away fouling from the exterior of your gun (but it’s worth noting that use on a heavily fouled surface may reduce the life of the cloth). To get the most use out of the cloth, use it as a final cleaning of the exterior of the firearm and add those finishing touches, not as the first pass clean on heavily fouled areas.

The Otis Silicone Gun Cloth is proudly made in the USA and will make a great addition to your cleaning regime.
