I meant eat wax that gets on the mesh part not the ear tips, wondering how to clean that without pushing the wax further into the mesh?

Hello KCAng296,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities!

If we understand your post correctly, you want to know how to get the ear wax out of your AirPods. We're happy to help!


The article you came from, How to clean your AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and EarPods, is the best resource for cleaning your AirPods.


Clean the ear tips of your AirPods Pro

If any water has accumulated in the ear tip, tap the AirPod on a soft, dry, lint-free cloth with the ear tip opening facing downward to remove.
Pull off the ear tips from each AirPod and rinse the ear tips with water. Don't use soap or other household cleaners.
Wipe the ear tips with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Make sure that the ear tips are completely dry before reattaching to each AirPod.
Click the ear tips back on each AirPod. The ear tips are oval shaped, so make sure that you align them before you click them back on.


Let us know if you have any questions.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Take care!
