A cleaning apparatus for use in connection with a threaded connector port for a feeding tube, the apparatus comprising: a handle body having a longitudinal axis extending from a first end of the handle body to a second end of the handle body, wherein the first end of the handle body includes a grip portion, characterized in that: the second end of the handle body includes at least two cleaning arms, the at least two cleaning arms each have a proximal end and a terminal end distally located from the handle body, each of the terminal ends of the at least two cleaning arms have an outward facing flange having a height and a width adapted to engage a respective internal female thread of the threaded connector port, the at least two cleaning arms each including a first outer surface, a second outer surface, and a third outer surface along the length of the cleaning arm and outward facing flange, the first outer surface extends from the proximal end of the cleaning arms to the terminal end of the cleaning arms, the second outer surface extends from the terminal end of the cleaning arms along the width of the outward facing flange, and the third outer surface extends from the second outer surface along the height of the outward facing flange; and a first plurality of foam pads, wherein each foam pad of the first plurality of foam pads is respectively coupled to the first outer surface, the second outer surface, and the third outer surface on each of the at least two cleaning arms, and the first plurality of foam pads are adapted to clean the female threads of the threaded connector port as the flanges maintain an outward pressure on the plurality of foam pads while the handle body is inserted into the threaded connector port and rotated radially about the longitudinal axis of the handle body. the apparatus comprising: a handle body having a longitudinal axis extending from a first end of the handle body to a second end of the handle body, wherein the first end of the handle body includes a grip portion, characterized in that: the second end of the handle body includes at least two cleaning arms, the at least two cleaning arms each have a proximal end and a terminal end distally located from the handle body, each of the terminal ends of the at least two cleaning arms have an outward facing flange having a height and a width adapted to engage a respective internal female thread of the threaded connector port, the at least two cleaning arms each including a first outer surface, a second outer surface, and a third outer surface along the length of the cleaning arm and outward facing flange, the first outer surface extends from the proximal end of the cleaning arms to the terminal end of the cleaning arms, the second outer surface extends from the terminal end of the cleaning arms along the width of the outward facing flange, and the third outer surface extends from the second outer surface along the height of the outward facing flange;
