Now this is a coincidence. This same fiberglass brush pen is used in
our offices as... an ink eraser! Mainly on drawings. 
I have used it for the same purpose Paul recommends it for, in
particular for cleaning battery contacts in difficult spots. 
I would never recommend to clean goldplated contacts with it though,
they would certainly be ruined.
Our office supplier sells the pens for about $6 each, in bulk that
is...
