Random black stuff in my AirPods case

I got my AirPods on Christmas and they didn’t have any black stuff on them but after a few days it just showed up. I’ve tried rubbing it off with a wet cloth and it didn’t help. I’ll try any suggestions.

Hello American_Deer,


Check out Apple's recommendations for how to clean you AirPods:


How to clean your AirPods, AirPods Pro, AirPods Max, and EarPods - Apple Support


If you can't clean off your AirPods' case, you can order a replacement (if you have AppleCare+, you might be able to receive a new case free of charge depending on the circumstances).


Note that buildup can occur on your AirPods from frequent use and dust, etc. If this is a problem other than these stated conditions, the limited warranty that came with your AirPods may cover the damage.


I hope this helps. Have a nice day.
