MF says they're discontinued.

Ernie Ball's site doesn't have them listed anymore either.

I know some people hate them, but I like/liked them.

Anyone know the scoop?

I seem to get good results using Window Cleaner & a paper towel. I can even use the store brand window cleaner, that leaves streaks on my windows. YRMV

might want to check out The String Cleaner. They've got one for bass, too.

Buy a big pack of individual alcohol wipes from a pharmacy and keep a bunch in your case.

This.
Or buy a big bottle of rubbing alcohol and use whatever paper towels/wipes... you got on your hands.
Works nice for me.

You're supposed to clean strings?

I rub my flats once before I put them on...that's about it.
