Uses & Applications
We are Hewitt & Booth and have been manufacturing flexistem pipe cleaners since 1922. The diverse range of end uses for our pipe cleaners fascinates us…. Gardening affords a totally different use for our pipe cleaners – namely tying up delicate plants. The bendy, pliable nature of a pipe cleaner makes them ideal for use in the garden – just loop round and twist together.

They have a product range of over 400 products and supply to over 50 countries worldwide. We have worked with them since 1994, when we first submitted a quotation for a green Flexistem which would act as a “Soft Plant Tie”, suitable for tying delicate plants to canes, wires or a trellis. Since then we have continued to supply green, 5” cotton Flexi-stems in bulk bundles, for onward packaging.
