You can buy pipe cleaners at a variety of places, depending on whether you want them for crafts , cleaning , or smoking‑pipe maintenance.

Where to buy pipe cleaners

Big‑box and craft stores

  • Walmart – Sells both craft‑style chenille pipe cleaners and cleaning‑type pipe cleaners (for pipes, straws, etc.), either in‑store or online with same‑day or next‑day options in many areas.
  • Michaels / Hobby Lobby – Popular for craft pipe cleaners in assorted colors; often cheaper than online and good for small‑scale projects.
  • Local craft or hobby shops – Many independent stores stock bulk packs and specialty colors or thicker‑wire stems.

Online marketplaces

  • Amazon – Huge range of craft pipe cleaners and cleaning pipe cleaners (for tobacco pipes, bottles, drains, etc.), including bulk packs and niche brands.
  • Etsy – Best if you want small‑batch, custom‑color, or handmade pipe cleaners for art or special‑project use.

Specialized and bulk suppliers

  • Pipes and cigars sites – Sites like Pipes and Cigars focus on smoking‑pipe cleaners from brands such as Decatur, Big Ben, and BJ Long.
  • Wholesale / B2B platforms – Sites like Accio list thousands of pipe‑cleaner‑type brushes and stems from global suppliers if you need large‑volume or industrial‑style cleaners.

Quick tip

  • For cleaning pipes, bottles, or straws , search “pipe cleaners” plus “cleaning brush” on Amazon or a tobacco‑accessory site.
