I need to clean the dirt and lint that's on my EarPods. It's on the meshes and I need to get them out. Can anyone help?
iPod touch, iOS 6.1, 5th Gen
I had wax build-up (over a period of two years - I'm not Shrek!) that I made worse by using a toothpick - all I did was compact it into the mesh, no matter how gentle I was when cleaning it. Here's the solution I used and it works great:

Works great! They sound like new.
I've found using a piece of blutac works a treat. It mounds perfectly into each open space, and you know its done when you get the nice mesh pattern on the end of the piece of blutac your using.
I've tried many things to get clean my EarPods, I was first scared to use Hydrogen Perodixe to unclog EarPod mesh but finally I give it a shot and they are fully functional again. Thank you!
How did you suck it out? Putting your lips all around it or sucking with a gap between your lips and EarPod?
If you want to, make it a visual of what you did.
This worked like magic, I already owned the blu tack!
Does anyone know if i can use debrox earwax cleaner to get rid of the ear wax?
Earwax cleaner ought to work fine. I just put some hydrogen peroxide in a shot glass, soaked the earbuds for 20 minutes, and blew them out using a keyboard cleaner (compressed air can).
I signed up for a support account just to reply to a three year old post but **** that method worked well. Nice! Thank you for that gross, obvious, and effective idea:)
Blowing on each speaker part actually works the best, they sounded good as new afterwards.
Lol. I've done that 3 times, and so far so good, as long as they're in my jeans pocket they stay relatively okay.
Side note: they turn more and more pink each time...
How did you use the needle to get it open?
How do I clean my EarPods effectively and without damaging the surface nor using the shirt method?
