cheap alternative to a cassette scraper

[ray-ez]

Hi,

can anyone think of a cheap alternative to a cassette scraper?
Perhaps an everyday item that one might already own that would do the same job of cleaning between sprockets on a cassette?

Thanks if you have any ideas,
Ray

A piece of cardboard? A brush from a dustpan and brush set (one could even trim the hairs to suit)? A rag squeezed between the sprockets?

Old stockings or pantyhose. A nail file for the tough bits.

What about a scrubbing brush? USD $0.99, now that's cheap.
